- I don't have any trouble dialing in and out on a DECstation 3100,
- although admittedly I am using my own software to dial out. You can
- probably use kermit; you should just modify the code to call ioctl
- TIOCSINUSE on the file descriptor before using it. That will keep
- getty from interfering, and if getty is using the port the ioctl will
- fail.

- I'm using my version of cu, which will be included in the next version
- (1.04) of Taylor UUCP, which ought to be out in a month or two.
- Sorry, it is not available before then.
