umm, the only way (to my knowledge) to make sure that clocal is set
is to do it from rc.local...

i've not looked at it in a while, but the problem you're having with stty is
this:

if it takes -f and a device name, it opens the device itself with a
non-blocking open.
if the device is supplied as the stdin/stdout, it will be opened by the
shell, probably *NOT* with that non-blocking open...
