Hmm, wonder which Interactive version you are using? 1.0.6, 2.0.2,
2.2, ???

You must configure the second port. (Assuming you are using 2.xx) Look
in /etc/conf/sdevice.d/asy and look in the manual for sdevice(4) for a
description of the fields.

The easy solution is to live with it. If you can afford it, buy the
ksh. It knows better.
Ksh is available from a number of sources. In source form you can get
it from AT&T, but it costs big $$. Cheaper would be an executable
version. Try MKS ((519) 884-2251), I think they sell a version for
Interactive's Unix.
