In hanse-ml.netbsd.bugs you write:
	>Did you try using the "-8" option to rlogin?
	
	Irrelevant.
	
	It is *wrong* for any program to change the *hardware* characteristics
	of the tty I'm logged in to (except in special cases and only at *my*
	request).
	
	Emacs suffers from this too, albeit in the opposite direction.

I think anything that uses curses also does this. I have a terminal hanging
off the end of one of my serial ports, for logging in (via the getty), it 
uses 7, O, 1... then when using more / vi / tip / various other programs, it
switches to 7, N, 1. (the exactness of O/N/E I'm not sure about... but you
get the idea!)
