[comp.unix.aux] Why does logging off or on mac32 or 24 mess with the serial ports?

rr5@prism.gatech.EDU (R. Bruce Rakes) (03/13/91)

Example:

User A is logged on remotely and and User B is logged on to the MacOS environ.
User B logs off.  User A is also kicked off!

I am running ap_getty on the printer port since my ImageWriter only
seems to work on the modem port.  I have a 2400 bps hayes compatable
modem attached to the printer port.  Also, appletalk has been
disabled.

I also notice that whenever the MacOS environ is fired up, the modem lights
start blinking which implies that it is being reset.

Any ideas?
