I have a penril auto dial auto answer smart modem hooked up to the contty port and it works fine, but when i tried (and am still trying) to add a second ACU to tty11, all kinds of strange things happen. I'm trying to use uugetty and in bidirectional mode. It sometimes works for a very short period, where uugetty is spawned on both lines, but not always. Many times when i boot up the system, the the console gets flooded with the error messages: Pump Error: 14 - ioctl call getty: cannot open "tty11", errno: 6 When the boot is successful, after the first time the ACU on tty11 is used, the uugetty process is no longer associated with any tty (seem with ps -elf) and just shows a ?, and no processes are ever active on that line again until the next boot. It is a 3b2/300 running SVR2 (from the factory) with 2 Meg of RAM. Any ideas or can anyone shed some light (or suggest possible workarounds) on this? Pat M.
