  The Computone AT/X insall scripts make a bunch of devices named
/dev/ttya[0-f].  Setting up for modems involves some changing of the file
/atx/attype.  Read the manual for the current state of attype.  I was using
something like (very sketchy memory): 'ttya0 type* 19200 auto'...

  I did not actually try to get a modem up on that system, but I did use
the hardware handshaking for terminals.  (Useful... When the terminal gets
shut off, it disconnects!)
