Closest thing I've found so far is for HPUX 11i Version 2:

TIOCREMOTE This ioctl puts the STREAMS pty in and out of Remote Mode. When
            Remote Mode is on, input data will be flow-controlled and passed
            through ldterm without any input processing regardless of the
            terminal mode. When the pty master driver receives this ioctl,
            it will send an M_CTL message downstream to ldterm via ptm, pts,
            and ptem. The command in the M_CTL message is set to MC_NO_CANON
            or MC_DO_CANON depending whether to turn on or off the Remote
            Mode. The format of this ioctl is:
                  int ioctl(master_fd, TIOCREMOTE, argument)
            where the argument is set to 1 to turn on Remote Mode and 0 to
            turn it off. Remote Mode is normally used when doing remote line
            editing in a window manager, or whenever flow-controlled input is
            required. Each write to the master device produces a record
            boundary for the process reading the slave devices. In normal
            usage, a write of data is like the data typed as a line on the
            terminal; a write of 0 (zero) bytes is like typing an EOF
            (End-of-File) character.

TIOCSIGNAL This ioctl allows the master process to send a signal to the slave
            process. The format of this ioctl is:
 

                  int ioctl(master_fd, TIOCSIGNAL, argument)
            where the argument is the signal number as defined in the header
            file <sys/signal.h>. For example the master process can send an
            SIGINT signal to the slave process by doing:
                  ioctl(master_fd, TIOCSIGNAL, SIGINT)
<<<<

TIOCREMOTE seems to be the SVR4 analogue to TIOCPKT without any of the useful 
parts; it doesn't include the prefix byte, so it doesn't provide any state 
change information.
