Try telling config you're a S5 VAX... it worked here, and we are using it
daily (1.7b now, it was 1.5 originally).

Outside of editing a few things to make the mail go in the proper place, it
worked great right out of the wrapper.  

Pay no attention to the "Xenix?  Oh barf gag" message from config, and tell
the system you're a real computer :-)

Now, if Configure was a little nicer about the "Xenix" response... or if
whoever wrote Config was less biased (or bothered to check RECENT Xenix
releases for compatibility)...
