On SunOS 4.0.3 (and probably the rest too), if you have installed
/usr/5bin then use:
speed=`/usr/5bin/stty speed`
in your shell scripts. This works.
By the way, the SUN manuals point out quite clearly that
"the settings are reported on the standard error."
for /bin/stty, and
"the settings are reported on the standard output"
for /usr/5bin/stty.
Be sure to re-read the manual to check that the different versions
apply to the device you want. ie /bin/stty sets/reports the stdout device,
whilst /usr/5bin/stty sets/reports the stdin device.
Hope this is of some use to you...
