[comp.unix.xenix] Problems with new init

rac@jc3b21.UUCP (Roger A. Cornelius) (01/01/89)

I've just installed the init program from Sanford Zelkowitz's (sp)
bbs on my sco 2.2.1 (286) system.  I've found that after dialing
in on a modem line, I can no longer use that line to dial out
using cu.  I get "tty??: Is in use", and the only way I've found
to get around it is to reboot.  Can someone tell what I'm doing
wrong here?  Doing an 'hd' on etc/utmp shows an entry for a login
process (06) on the line in question even after the line is disabled.
ungetty has no effect.

On another point, I have two modems, one MNP and one normal.  The
MNP modem has the interface speed locked at 4800 (gettydefs entry
is also 4800 *only*), regardless of the speed the caller connects
at.  The other modem rotates from 1200 to 300 baud.  

Logins on the MNP modem proceed normally (as they always have).
But the other modem now prints garbage for the "password:" prompt
after the user has entered his login id.  It worked fine with the
sco provided init/getty.  It looks like something to do with parity
generation, but I've tried all the combinations of stty settings in
gettydefs with no luck.  

If you've experienced this before or have any input, please post
or mail.

Thanks,
Roger
