I am trying to use a pseudo terminal device (/dev/ptc /dev/pts pair) on
our IBM PC RT running AIX 2.1.2. This seems to work, except that the
pty device driver does not do any input processing like echoing, line
editing, and I currently see no way to make it do input processing.

When I start a shell on the server side of the pty, and run the 'stty'
command, everything looks great, i.e. just as I installed it using an
'ioctl'; but the driver seems to ignore all this.

How can I make this work?  Xwindows also uses ptys. How did they make
it work?

Paul.
