This is more of an HP-UX system administration question than a question about
Kermit. When a serial port is to be used for both dialout and dialin, the
process that controls port when it is not being used for dialout (such as
getty) has to "take back" the modem and reconfigure it for answering calls.
Some modem configuration might also be involved -- for example, setting its
profile to reload a call-answering configuration from NVRAM whenever a
connection is dropped and/or setting some DIP switches in a certain way,
depending on the make and model of the modem.
Let's see if we can get some specific answers from HP-UX system adminstrators.
