Xenix 2.3 getty

I just installed 2.3 and except for a bad N2 update disk and the update
program's insistence upon overwriting the 2.3 link library with the old 2.2
files, it works fine.
I like the new HDB and plan to use it instead of the patched-to-death BNU
I used in 2.2, but problem:
The new 2.3 getty seems to be bound very closely to the 2.3 BNU, especially
the Devices, Dialers and Systems files. I ran into problems trying to use
my own baud-sensing getty with 2.3 BNU. Actually, the problem is that
I can't get 2.3 getty to deal with a 7-bit dialin. I've tried virtually
every gettydefs combination I can think of but I can't get getty to strip
those highbits on input. This is a mega-bummer because the system has a LOT
of BBS traffic, especially calling from PC Pursuit where folks are at 7/E.
The impression is that the system has frozen on them at the "login:" prompt,
which it effectively has unless they switch to 8/N.
Anyone had any success with this in 2.3?
