	[ ... about using uutty or getty on Microport ... ]

While it is true that uutty was *primarily* written by J.Chambers to
be able to use the same line for incoming and outgoing calls under
*Xenix*, and that this can be accomplished much more neatly under
Microport by using the tty[mM]?, uutty still has some advantages,
for example logging, and the fact that you have sources and can
customize it. It is also _marginally_ faster, as it does both getty
and login in one go.

In any case, even with uutty it is simpler to use the tty[mM]? mechanism
for arbitrating between incoming and outgoing calls, unless you have a
really exotic setup.
