Serial Port for keyboard on Solaris 8

I've hooked a special keyboard to the serial port (/dev/ttya) under Solaris 8, and am trying to access it with a driver that I've written. I tried to initialize the port via "admintool" with various settings, but am only having partial luck. The settings "initialize only - no connection" with only "software carrier" checked under options works best. Then, I run a script to set the tty parameters using "stty" as I need them set, and then start my driver. This works for a keystroke or few, but then the port parameters get reset by "ttymon" (or something). If I kill "ttymon" after running my setup script, things are fine. What do I need to do to get this to work? Thanks for any help.
