- I'm fighting a similar problem (which I am discussing in a separate post)
- where I think something is killing the uugetty with some kind of a signal.
- I've enabled boo-coo debugging and traced it to the point it calls the read
- from the device (and should block until something is read). After several
- minutes it starts respawnning over and over (each iteration re-inits the
- modem) and ends up waiting in the read call. Then one of two things will
- happen. 1 - it will respawn again (and again ...) until something gets
- tired of it and issues the warning and locks it out for a while, or 2 -
- it waits as it should, and allows an inbiound call.
