I observed my uucico placing an outgoing call and noticed that uugetty
*was* turned off and inittab modified.  Kevin O'Gorman's UNIXpc
kermit port does the same thing.  So even though uugetty is supposed
to allow bi-directional traffic, all the utilities that use the OBM
port assume it doesn't and turn it off before opening the port.  Is
there any way around this?
