I've had good success with listing out the modes that I want rather
than just relying on 'SANE' in the past.  However, I now just use
the following and it works fine as far as I can tell.

v # B2400 CS8 ISTRIP HUPCL BRKINT SANE -CLOCAL HUPCL #

The only thing I've changed in 3 years has been the login prompt to
include various threats of prosecution against wayward hackers.  I've
had contact with quite a few BSD and Sun machines in the past and
presently see several calls a day from the Dallas Sun office.
