    Problem Text
    Our system supports network connected synchronous and asynchronous
    terminals. It does not support locally connected asynchronous terminals.
    Synchronous terminals exist in their own time-warp and do not support
    the General Terminal Interface (GTI) defined in XPG4. Network
    connected asynchronous terminals do support the GTI for all practical
    purposes, but they do not support hardware related features of RS232
    connected devices, such as parity generation / detection and
    character size (other than CS8).

    We also provide pseudo-ttys, which again support the GTI for all
    practical purposes, but do not support the hardware related features
    listed above.

    We therefore apply for a waiver as laid down in section 9.3.8 of the
    VSX User and Installation Guide, on the basis that our hardware does
    not support the above features.
