  I just fixed a problem on a C-16 cluster box.  Exactly like that.
It worked before on an ATX, but under the C-16, default ioctl had all
the ECHO* bits set on.  My CPU-CPU program failed.  Computone told me
that they only support users of "Packages" and that if I am actually 
writing programs I have to apply for a DEVELOPERS KIT.  They sent
me a form, not too bad, non-disclosure etc..., looks like the process
will take a couple of months.  Maby that will shed some light on all
of this.  I haven't told them about the "fix" because I don't have a
line of communications with them yet.  Mayb they should be listening!
