Sorry to report that it didn't work for me.  I tried both iexten and -iexten
for good measure.  It seems like whenever getty is respawned, it changes 
/dev/ttyS0 to whatever it wants no matter what stty does.  I still couldn't 
log on with a lowercase username and password.  Thanks for trying, 
though!
