Huh? It's already in 1.3.3, along with a similar change for the dc
chip ports. At least in the CVS tree, it is. Does the 1.3.3
distribution have something different? Was this a fresh 1.3.3
install, or did you upgrade from an earlier version (and resurrect the
old ttys file?)
Maybe it should go in the release notes or as an FAQ? (Simon?)
