I have an A/UX system with a single modem attached. I'd like to use
this modem for incoming login and outgoing uucp. The book, Managing
UUCP and Usenet, gives two suggestions. One, you can set up multiple
run levels, like 2 for incoming and 3 for outgoing. Then you establish
a schedule and have cron automatically change run levels for you. This
works okay but it also seems to start extra crons and lpscheds on me.
It also says that with BNU (what's BNU?) there's a program called "uugetty"
which allows the port to be bi-directional without shutting off the uugetty.
Well, this sounds great. Is there a public domain version of this? I
found a program called uuty on comp.sources.unix which does most of
this but it does do speed switching like the normal getty does. I'm
new to Unix and don't know enough to enhance this uutty to provide this
speed switching. Any help is always appreciated.

I received from jrg@apple.com a program called ringback, written by pst@anise.acc.com (Paul Traina). This seems to be just the thing I needed. It provides bidirectional getty service and it even allows you to call your computer with one ring to deactivate answer back so you can talk to an answer- ing machine (voice). It looks like this program was posted to alt.sources but I have it if anyone wants it. Or, you could contact the author for more information. Thanks for all your help!
