On the machine itself I get:

On the first hop, a Linux, I get:

On the next hop, a NetBSD machine, I get:

        reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = ^T; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z;
        time = 0; werase = ^W;

That machine is running NetBSD-5.99.40/amd64. On that machine I can still do 
'su' successfully.

On the final machine, running NetBSD-6.99.6/amd64, I get:
speed 38400 baud; 73 rows; 175 columns;

        reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = ^T; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z;

Here I can't su any longer.
