Look and edit the #/etc/gettytab . stty is more for altering the port 
while running and seeing all the configurations of the serial port. 
Another testing command for the terminal is #/usr/bin/tset .

Using stty to change the stopbits would be:
#stty -f /dev/<device> cstopb . for two stopbits.
#stty -f /dev/<device> -cstopb . for one stopbits.
