You asked for it. :)

   - This version of Unix hasn't ever been liberally-licensed, has it? The
   last one I recall being so released was UNIX V7.
   - "SVR3 is *very primitive*." Naaah. It's almost *modern*. UNIX V5 is
   primitive, and OS/8 for the PDP-8 is *very primitive*. "Modern" would be
   4.3BSD or newer. :)
   - "Don't even expect man pages." That must be a matter of packaging. The
   famous "ancient Unix V6" PDP-11 distribution contains man pages.
   - "...you have to type the pound / hash symbol (#). Really." That must
   be a default stty setting issue. I used 3B1s briefly back in the day, and I
   don't recall any gymnastics required to delete a character. (I have a dead
   3B1 mainboard nailed to the wall. I call it a 3B0. ;) )
