[ I posted something about this before, but got little response, and I have reason to believe it died before going too far from my site ] I have a SCO Xenix 80286 v2.2.1 system, and it has one modem, which I use for manual dial out as well as automatic dial out for UUCP connections. While I am using it manually, if a cron job comes up that calls /usr/lib/uucp/uucico, the LCK.. file in /usr/spool/uucp/ will be ignored and I will get the modem commands being fired out on the line while I am connected over it! As yet, this has beena nuisance, but I suppose it stands to be damaging eventually. I'm running the distribution SCO Xenix system, C-Kermit 4E070 (which creates /usr/spool/uucp/LCK..ttyxx when you allocate ttyxx), and the SCO enhanced uucico for telebit trailblazer modems (though I have just a normal modem - I needed the ability to send BREAKs). Is this correct behaviour? I was under the impression that C-Kermit used the LCK.. files because the uucp software had started that convention, and now here is uucp ignoring it!
