After more carefull examination of the 2681 device driver (/usr/src/buts/
ns32000/io/sig2681.c) I found the bug that caused the problem with tty2
on the ICM2681. In the procedure siginit() a line appears:
				if ( dev > (sig_cnt-2) ) {
					sig_telco[dev] = OFF;
					sig_ds[PORT(dev)] = 0;
				}
"sig_cnt" appears in the config file, and is set to 4 (4 ports), so that
the if statement is only true for tty3 (ie console). Thus tty2 is assumed
to have full modem control when it too is a "telco" connection. 
Changing the ">" to ">=" fixes the bug.
 
	It makes me wonder how many other bugs were patched in the sysV.2
binary and not corrected in the source and .o files supplied by nsc.
