No, "stty" merely affects future behavior of the tty handler portion
of the operating system; it does not transmit anything to the terminal.

While some of the LSI ADM family of terminals can be configured to have
code 32 (space) act as a non-destructive cursor-right action, it is
really not a good idea, as many programs expect the usual space
character to act destructively.  Code 12 (ctrl-L) does act as a cursor-
right command regardless of switch settings, and thus this capability
is available even when the normal, destructive space is configured.

I've seen quite a few incorrect ADM termcaps; here is the set I use.

#
# LSI ADM-3A, ADM-3A+, ADM-5
# The following ADM-3A switch settings are assumed for normal operation:
#	SPACE		U/L_DISP	CLR_SCRN	24_LINE
#	CUR_CTL		LC_EN		AUTO_NL		FDX
# Other switches may be set for operator convenience or communication
# requirements.  I recommend
#	DISABLE_KB_LOCK	LOCAL_OFF	103		202_OFF
#	ETX_OFF		EOT_OFF
