Maybe you're asking too much.

According to the manual page, -C may not work on all systems.  It doesn't
work on an unadulterated 4.3BSD or System V, since the ioctl needed
(TIOCCONS) isn't supplied on those systems.  Sun and Sony workstations,
to name a couple, do supply this ioctl, and I'm sure others are doing
the same.  Maybe A/UX just doesn't have this yet.
