tset never was a part of vanilla System V.  Tset, like ftp, sockets, select(),
etc, is a Berkeleyism (borrowed from 4.X BSD) which many **IX vendors have
ported to their System V compatible operating systems.  The number of
Berkeleyisms the vendor ports is up to them.  The closest thing to tset is
stty, but it is nowhere near as useful as tset.
