TCGET* are SystemV ioctl's for changing various terminal modes.  You've
come across a basic SystemV-4BSD incompatibility thats really got nothing
to do with UMAX4.2.

What you probably have are several SystemV programs.  To get them to run
under UMAX4.2 (or any BSD-based machine), you're going to have to change
the ioctl's to the equivalent for 4BSD.  However, for `rn' this will be
very simple, as you just need to configure rn for a BSD host instead of
a USG (SystemV) host.

Of course, if you were running UMAXV, then that would be SystemV.3-based and
you wouldn't have *this* problem.
