One of the patches from the Support Center included this description
of problems with the terminal drivers:

Is there anyone who can explain just what was wrong and how it was
fixed?  Was the problem also implemented in the dh driver and not
fixed by this patch?  It appears that the modems I have running off
of a 3-rd party DH11 emulator no longer reliably disconnect when you
logout, etc...

Also, can someone explain the import of this mysterious DEC standard 52
as it applies to the Ultrix drivers?  Looking in /sys/data/*.c, it
seems that each of the "supported" drivers has a compile time (but
patchable) option as to whether or not to support "DS52"...

for whether or not to implement
