The BSD stty (which you will run by default - it's in /bin) will not change
or check the settings of anything other then the tty you are executing it
from. The System V stty (it lives in /usr/5bin), however, will do exactly 
what you want. To change port settings execute: 
	"/usr/5bin/stty mode > /dev/ttya". 
To check the settings run: 
	"/usr/5bin/stty < /dev/ttya".

When I came from System V to SunOS 5 years ago I had the same problem.
