Each controller has 8 async lines, 1 sync line and parallel input and output ports. The modem control lines are brought out to the distribution panel only for lines 0 and 1. Lines 2 thru 7 have only TXD, RXD and Gnd. I think I mentioned that in the original article, which was posted to net.dcom. The symptom has been cured by adding a 1 second delay in getty after printing the login message, followed by flushing the input. Many thanks to all responders.
