As far as I can tell, DECnet-Ultrix handles the DCL editing characters and
the interrupt characters (c-C and c-Y) locally, and there appears to be
no way to turn it off.  I haven't looked at DECnet-Ultrix 2.0 yet, so
I don't know if the problem is still there.

We "solved" this by installing a DECnet XTERM object on the VMS machines
(we have X windows running on our Ultrix machines).
