One of the not-quite-so-obvious requirments is that uugetty wants full
modem control on the port.  My version of ISC (actually from Dell) did
come with the devices configured for both "normal" and "modem control",
although the driver supports them both.  To fix, I created the devices
/dev/ttym0 and /dev/ttym1 with minor device numbers 16 for ttym0, and 17
for ttym1

Another misprint in the documentation leads you to beleive that the
line in /etc/inittab should read:

	01:2345:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty /dev/ttym01 2400

But uugetty actually uses the first argument to create the lock file,
so that the "/dev/" part of "/dev/ttym01" will screw things up.  I have
mine set as:

	01:2345:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -t 60 ttym01 2400
