I have a VME bus box running System V.  I have 18 serial ports:
(/dev/console, /dev/tty01, /dev/tty[12][1-8]).  On /dev/tty18,
I have a direct connection (via genderchangers/nullmodems) to a
true blue AT 339 running SCO Xenix/286 2.2.1. (the VME serial
ports are MVME332XT boards).

Here's the problem:  I have uugetty running in my inittab on tty18.
ps -ef shows NO associated terminal for the uugetty, i.e.

$ ps -ef
 UID   PID  PPID  C    STIME TTY   TIME COMMAND
 ...
root 27303     1  0 00:43:47 ?     0:00 /etc/uugetty -r -t 60 tty18 9600
 ...

Other uugettys or straight gettys (tty17, or tty27, for example) have
the correct associated tty.  The problem is that the AT can't call up
the VME box for UUCP purposes, because no login prompt is received.

HELP!!!!!!
