There may be a lot of good reasons to switch from Vr2 to Vr3 (pardon me
if they escape me right now), but this isn't one of them.  If it wasn't
obvious, the low-level device drivers for the Mac II aren't provided by
AT&T, and anyway, anything not working in A/UX should be able to be fixed
without an upgrade to Vr3.  I would suspect that any problem with serial
lines is a peculiarity of the Unisoft/Apple implementation.
