You're right. So use:

	stty -icanon min '^a' time '^@'

I guess you (and a few other people) missed the whole point of my 
message.  My intent was to point out that the usage of "min" and "time" 
was guaranteed to work (on SysV) but that overloading "eof" and "eol" 
depends on your kernel implemenation.

Also, my copy of IEEE 300.1 says the kernel is "permitted" (not 
required) to overlap VEOF and VEOL with VMIN and VTIME.  Therefore it's 
also implementation dependent on POSIX compliant systems.
