Hello everyone!  I have now gotten my modem to stop flashing its lights and
work properly with AUX 1.1, and can use it with tip, etc.  Millions of thanks
are sent to Tim Endres for his assistence with this!!  Now I am trying to
be able to poll another site for mail.  Is it possible to use uucico to call
out on AUX 1.1 or AUX 1.1.1?  For some reason we can't get it to open the
device correctly.  Is there some magic which must be placed in L-devices
or L.sys to get this to happen?  We even went so far as to try to get
the device to open with a simple 'C program (shown below).  This program
HANGS!! it also hangs if we use "r+" instead of "w+".  The device and the
/dev directory have permissions 777.  (We tried other combinations as well)
Owner is currently daemon, group daemon.  We have tried various other
things here as well.  Please help.  What are the magic incantations which
we must perform??
	If you answer by mail, don't put .com after the site cspi.  It
will just bounce about.
					thanks a million, cathy segedy

#include <stdio.h>

main() {
	FILE *fp;

	fp = fopen("/dev/tty0","w+");
	perror("fopen: ");
	exit(0);
}
