In addition to getty's dying, the init's for the ports with modem control stop listening for DCD, which should cause a getty to be started for that port. I can fix that by killing those init's with "kill -INT nnn". The new init's seem to work for awhile before they hang. Any suggestions or bug fixes will be appreciated. We`re running 4.2bsd on a Vax11/750 with 2 DEC DMF-32's. Our other systems have dz's--no problems. paul e. bloch uucp: ...tektron!uoregon!paul phone: (503) 686-4408
