- `man uugetty`. No need to edit inittab; uugetty, uucico, and cu all
- inter-lock together.

- /usr/lib/uucp/fix-telebit (and friends) does the base configuration of
- the modem. The inittab entry I am using for UUCP and SLIP look like:
-
- t8:23:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -Nrt15 -it25in,conn ttyf8 dx_19200
- t9:23:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -Nrt15 -it16in,conn ttyf9 dx_38400
