Mine works both ways "out-of-the-box", no special programming needed.  You
do need to be sure the inittab entry looks just the way it is set up
by ua because the cu & uucp dialers modify inittab to kill the getty and
they are easily confused.

execlp() and execvp() will do shell scripts, the other variations don't.
