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. -- Dave Ihnat Analysts International Corporation (312) 882-4673 ihnp4!aicchi!ignatz
