Having played with Linux for a couple of hours now, and thus by definition, a
guru, tab sets don't seem to be done that way. Although terminal type
negotiation (option 24) is completed before the login prompt appears, as is
standard, the tab set routine doesn't seem to be called until some program is
invoked sometime later. In the QCTerm trace that I've included below, that
didn't occur until HP-Eloquence was invoked, as you can in the attached trace.
Having Linux do it this way is a little different than I expected, but it
also makes some sense.
