ptw@vaxine.UUCP (P. T. Withington) (09/01/83)
Either r got your address wrong or your mailer doesn't know where you are; but
I did try to mail this rather than post it:

Subject: cu for ct
To: lauren@LBL-CSAM
I have successfully used the following in a shell file to call myself on
a dialer line that has an init/getty hanging in open.
cu $number -t -a /dev/cua0 -l /dev/null < /dev/null
-t almost does what you want, but specifying /dev/null as the line keeps
it from complaining "line busy" because init resets the tty modes; using
/dev/null as input just gets the cu to terminate right away so that it
doesn't waste cpu cycles.

P.S.
I'd be interested in ct for 4.1 if you do it.
