Need bi-directional getty for A/UX 1.1

[Alexis Rosen]

One of the big problems with SVR2 is that you can't easily use one line for
both dialing in and dialing out. That's exactly what we need to do, though.
So the question is, how can I do that with A/UX 1.1?

I have been told that what we need is a "bi-directional getty". Sounds good
to me. IF it works.

Another alternative is HoneyDanBer UUCP. Does it exist for the Mac? Does it
solve the problem?

One hack which occured to me is that when we want UUCP to dial out, we tell
it to look at the line, and if it's not used, modify the inittab file so
it won't respawn getty on that line, then kill the getty, and then get on
with things. As soon as it's done it restores the inittab to its original
state. Is this crackbrained scheme feasible? What about reasonable? Is there
a better way?

HELP!!!
