[ please reply to the address below ] In recent months there have been some programs posted that allow a single modem port to be used for both dial-in and dial-out. Does anyone have such a program, or ideas for one, that would work on a System III/V system that doesn't support /etc/ttys ? scott weikart ...hplabs!cdp!scott thanks for the assistance. -scott

Not being on Usenet (or how to get to it's pathnames):
I am working on a login program that will function as a getty, but can
be "put to sleep" if that line is needed for dial-out (and nobody is logged
in, of course). It is going to be for HP-UX, a System III based Unix.
If you are interested, send me mail and I'll send it to you when it's
finished ("real soon now").

The 3b2 computer, using System V UNIX, comes with a program called "cgetty" which is similar to getty, but intended for smart modems. Cgetty switches automatically the modem between answer and originate modes. -- Kenton Lee Bell Labs - WB ihnp4!wbscc!kfl or ihnp4!hoxna!kfl

Mark: You're working too hard! That feature is already present on all HP-UX Series 200 systems, and on HP-UX Series 500, release 4.0 and later. It's done in the kernel and requires no code modification! See page 99 of the Series 200 System Admin Manual, page 80 for the Series 500, and page 21 f.f. in the Asynchronous Communications Guide. I admit the manual isn't real clear, but a single line can be used in both dial-in and dial-out mode. Donn Terry HP Ft. Collins, Co. P.S. Sorry to be slow on the uptake, but your message just got here today; no, this response is NOT an April Fool's joke :-) .
