On old versions of unix, if the username and password you typed was all
upper-case, it assumed you were using an uppercase-only teletype and
set things accordingly. I doubt if Lunix includes that code :-)
However, you should be able to do "stty tty33" which should set xcase,
iuclc, olcuc, the correct delays for carriage-return and linefeed, and
allow mark parity. I'm not sure how you type the stty command in the
first place, though :-) You'll probably have to change /etc/gettydefs.
