- Use pdelay instead of pshare. In enable or share mode, getty grabs the port,
- waiting for a login. In delay mode, there is no getty until CD goes high,
- indicating a connection, and then after a short time (~3 sec?), or if
- characters are recieved, a getty is spawned to handle the (implied) login.
-
- Since getty hasn't locked the port till CD changes state, uucp can grab it
- for outgoing calls. When he gets a Carrier Detect, getty can't start because
- uucp has a lock on the port...
