stty, SCO, clear EOL

[Bob Rasmussen]

I'm dusting off old memories here, in response to a customer, and I need 
some help. Customer connects from Anzio on Windows to SCO 6, runs filePro 
(not sure of version). Says if he connects via telnet, all is good, but if 
he connects via SSH, when he types ctrl-O, it doesn't clear to end of 
line. Emulation type is SCOANSI.

The difference boils down to the stty setting "iexten". It's off in telnet 
(not sure what initializes this); ON in SSH (set by Anzio). In both cases, 
flush = ^o.

Here's my analysis:

* When iexten is on, UNIX gets the ctrl-O and deals with it somehow;

* When iexten is off, UNIX passes the ctrl-O to filePro, which deals with 
it as directed by the termcap entry;

* When filePro sets the tty mode (in C) to "raw", it must not be turning 
off the iexten switch;

* This may not be an issue in Linux.

Does this all make sense? Is my analysis correct?
