Here's what I use in my gettydefs:
19200H# B19200 # B19200 CS8 CSTOPB HUCPL IXON IXANY BRKINT ICRNL ISIG ICANON ECHO ECHOK OPOST ONLCR #Welcome to Fiver (To use Bulletin Board type "bbs")\r\nlogin: #19200H
Note: I lock the interface speed from the computer to the modem and let
the modem do the baudrate switching.

It's \n. Please read the Admin manuals and Admin Ref manuals on
getty, gettydefs, init, and inittab. The only beef I have with
the manuals is they put the stupied setup for 8bit lines in the
Programmers Reference as a *warning* note.

You can check and set what line options with the 'stty' command after
you login.
