Hi, Two problems this time (running XENIX/386 2.3.2): 1. I need to use the modem for dial-in and for dial out to our mail/news feed. The system I'm using (not UUCP) does not set things up properly so whenever it tries to dial out on tty1A (which is also enabled for callers to the system) anything it sends to the modem is decided to be a login attempt by getty and thus login is started. This is annoying because then I can't access the remote host. I have heard of ungetty - could this help (ie: I need to be able to kill getty from looking at tty1A when we want to dial out but I want it to be active on that line at other times). 2. uuinstall gives me a core dump when it attempts to access/modify /etc/ttys (option 4). I have no idea but it's very strange! Any help/comments would be greatly apprieciated. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Richard Muirden Humble Computer Science Student and Star Trek fan!
