The protmonitor listens for incoming calls. For bidirectional ports,
the portmonitor will start failing to open the dial-in side of the port
when the dialout is started and will conclude that the port is broken
after a short period of time.
Bug id 1191317, this shoul dbe fixed with patch 101720-02 (2.3)
There seems to be no matching 2.4 patch.
There is no magic with the portmonitor involved when dialing out.
But sun does have split personality serial lines:
These two lines point to the same device:
crw------- 1 uucp uucp 29,131072 Apr 3 1995 /dev/cua/a
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 29, 0 Sep 11 13:45 /dev/term/a
On dialin, open on /dev/term/a will succeed. For dialout
use /dev/cua/a (much like in SunOS 4).
This split personality only works if you configure your line for
hardware carrier detect.
