- yup my hack also can only work for uucp because my uucico does all
- these things itself that normally are in the tty driver... like look
- for carrier, etc.

- hmm i even have the .zoo here, only did not test it yet because i
- usually have the modem on modem2 (SCC) and run uucp @ 38400 bps...
- anyway i'll have a look, maybe i can find something.
