 there is probably a setting in Linux somewhere to do that. At least
 it's ASCII and not Baudot. That would be lots of fun... 
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.
