How do I change the initial state, then?  I have read that the clocal
flag needs to be set in order for tip (and kermit, and any other comm
program) to work.  Is there a flag I have to set in my /etc/remote or
/etc/gettytab, and if so what is it?

Basically, how can I set things up so that I can just say
'tip 5551212' and connect with the line set up the way I want?

Aside from clocal, I would also like to be able to set the modem port
to 8N1, instead of the 7 bits it seems to be set to now.
