     I am having problems with the serial terminals on my i386 
4.3-Stable machine.  I was running on 3.4 and just upgraded to 4.

   Since the upgrade, my terminals are screwed.  To get a proper login 
prompt, I had to modify gettytab to force unbuffered output (ub).  The 
prompt is ok now but once I log on, everything is screwed again.  I 
tried in 300 bps to check if there was any communication problems and I 
am still missing a lot of chars.  (When I say screwed, I mean it looks 
like it is missing a lot of chars.  I don't get garbage)  I am having 
the very same problem with my alpha machine.

   Is there a way to disable buffered output once logged?  I checked 
stty man page and could not find anything that could help in there.  
Hardware flow control are working fine.
