According to my SunOs 4.0 manuals, as of this release you're supposed to be able to run a getty on ttya to enable logins, and simultaneously hook an outgoing modem onto the same hardware port, calling it /dev/cua0. Whichever application (login or, eg, tip) grabs the port first is supposed to lock it to other applications. I've tried this, and I think I have all my gettytab, ttytab and /etc/remote entries correct, but the getty on ttya (or ttyd0, or ttym0, no matter how I try it) renders /dev/cua0 busy for outgoing calls. According to my manual, this isn't supposed to happen. This is on a 386i, but a colleague trying the identical things on a 3-160 running 4.0 exhibits the identical symptoms. Has anyone gotten it to work, or is it a known bug, or what? -- Peter S.
