using a modem to dial in/out PLUS uuinstall core dump!!

[Richard Muirden [G.A.]]

Hi,

Two problems this time (running XENIX/386 2.3.2):

1. I need to use the modem for dial-in and for dial out to our mail/news
   feed. The system I'm using (not UUCP) does not set things up properly
   so whenever it tries to dial out on tty1A (which is also enabled for
   callers to the system) anything it sends to the modem is decided to
   be a login attempt by getty and thus login is started. This is annoying
   because then I can't access the remote host. I have heard of ungetty -
   could this help (ie: I need to be able to kill getty from looking at
   tty1A when we want to dial out but I want it to be active on that line
   at other times).

2. uuinstall gives me a core dump when it attempts to access/modify
   /etc/ttys (option 4). I have no idea but it's very strange!

Any help/comments would be greatly apprieciated.
