Csh and stty

Your problem with 'stty everything | more' giving you confusing results
(i.e. the old driver) probably stems from the fact that stty uses the
standard output to get its information and do its work, and then prints
its results on the standard error.  Since stdout is now directed to
a pipe, it's unclear what results you should expect.

Personally, I think stty should do its work on the standard input, so that
anything it prints can be EASILY redirected (through a pipe or otherwise),
though I must say that:  stty 1200 >/dev/ttyd0  looks more meaningful than
stty 1200 </dev/ttyd0.
