I believe your problem stems from the fact that Ultrix 1.2 attempts to be
sys V compatible.  rn's Configure program decides which method of terminal
control to use by looking for the exsistance of /usr/include/termio.h (i
think).  If you hide this file from Configure, or figure out which cpp
variable to undefine things will work better.
