I believe Manx for MS-DOS does this, by having it use different system
calls depending on what the value of the ECHO flag is. It doesn't have
a complete emulation of struct termio, just a few flags.

I'd hate to try to get ksh running under Lightspeed. I hate to think
of what struct _iob looks like :->.
