You're right, it should, but doesn't.
I've spent much time trying to find a combination of flags that will,
in effect, enable 8 bit no parity with the high bit stipped. That
should let it work correctly with a 7E1 caller. However, the problem,
like you said, is that getty is broken. It doesn't respond to flags
the same in the first group (prior to the first #) as it does to the
same settings in the second group. The second group works correctly.
This behavior can be seen by running the test gettydefs file through
getty -c and looking at the ioctl values produced. Very enlightening.
