Dial-in, Dial-out. Same line, easy?

Most fixes to the line turnaround problem are0 source fixes.  This is,
admittedly, the *proper* and *elegant* way to solve the problem; but, alas,
not always available.  We have a Plexus P/40 running System III, and absolutely
couldn't dedicate a dial-out line; yet we needed/wanted it.  SO...I've
implemented a 'truly portable' and thoroughly non-elegant system of doing
scheduled line turnaround.  It doesn't care what version of USG Unix you're
running--although it must have USG-like init states--and allows you to
dial out on one of any number of uucp-supported lines.

Specifically, it involves a shell-script(!), additional init states to
shutdown getty, and a user-maintained tty information file.  If anyone
without a source license would like this stuff, and the information to
make it work, mail to me; enough responses, as usual, and I'll post to
net.sources.
