- I don't understand why they still ship uugetty. As of ISC 2.2, you don't
- need it. You put regular old getty on /dev/ttyd00 and dial out on
- /dev/acu0. The kernel does all the locking. It works great. I've been
- using this approach with 2.2 and now 3.0 for about two years.
-
- You can also use FAS, in which case you dial out on /dev/ttyF00 and put
- the getty on /dev/ttyFM00.
