I remember fighting *a lot* agains getty, login and subsequently /bin/sh
when playing around with a TI 700 (small printing terminal, quite portable).
It needed 300bps, 7E1 (or similar) and while I got getty to get it right,
login needed something else and /bin/sh (or bash) would always reset it to
300 8N1. Ttyflags didn't help.

I finally solved it using ttyaction and stty. This was a loooong time ago
so I don't (want to) remember all the details.
