Dialin/Dialout & Tip

[Mark G. Brown]

First, let me say thank you to those responded to my Lisp/GKS problem.

Now I have one a bit less esoteric. On our server (a Sun3/180 running
SunOs3.5 [I know, but it is a SL/IP gateway]), we have a dialin/dialout
modem connected to /dev/ttyb. The kernel has been configured for carrier
detection on ttyb. The problem is that whenever a user runs the command
`tip isn`, a second "/etc/init -" process is started, which hangs any
future `tip` requests until the 2nd "init" process is killed. Here are the
relevant contents of /dev and the pertinent file in /etc:

/dev
====
crw--w--w-  1 root     wheel     12,   0 Nov 20  1988 /dev/ttya
crw--w--w-  1 root     wheel     12,   1 Mar 23 12:01 /dev/ttyd0

/etc/remote
===========
isn:\
	:dv=/dev/cua0:br#2400:at=hayes:du:pn=4921968%:  

/etc/ttys
=========
02ttya
10ttyd0

/etc/ttytype
============
dialup ttya
dialup ttyd0

Can anyone offer an explanation? (Like I'm doing something stupid.)

Thanks in advance.
