Let me start by saying I don not have a brilliant answer (never do..)
for this, but let me suggest some things.

1.  To debug acucap under Ultrix, set the debug flag on the acucap
entry.  If you entry was:

df112|df124|DF112|DF124|DEC df112:\
	:cr:hu:re:ls:ss=^B:sr=Ready\r\n:sd#250000:di=T:fd#40:\
	:dt=#:dd#50000:os=\r\nAttached\r\n:rs==:

add a "db:" at the end, as in

df112|df124|DF112|DF124|DEC df112:\
	:cr:hu:re:ls:ss=^B:sr=Ready\r\n:sd#250000:di=T:fd#40:\
	:dt=#:dd#50000:os=\r\nAttached\r\n:rs==:db:

2. Do not LINK dialout ports to other names!  (See your release notes
for a note about this.)  Either rename them  (mv /dev/ttyA0 /dev/ttyd0)
or make additional nodes (mknod /dev/ttyd0 c MAJ min).

I hope this helps.

Fred.
