how to stty another terminal?

You can always do this the sneaky way:

	$ stty whatever 3>/dev/ttyd4 0<&3

The 3>/dev/ttyd4 gives you a writable descriptor to the terminal
and then the 0<&3 redirects input from that place.  You do not require
read permission on the device being set (on System V, at least).

Also note that older versions of BSD (4.1?) did stty on their stdout.
