	My thanks to those who responded to my plea for assistance
implementing a callback mechanism. The solution was very simple:
	Instead of fighting init/getty, let them do their work as
normal. This reduced the program to:
	
callback()
{
	
	if(uucp_lock())
		exit();
	create_uucp_lock();
	sleep(AWHILE);
	set_baud_rate();
	dial(phone_number);
	sleep(ASHORTWHILE);
	remove_uucp_lock();
	exit();

}

	After the number is dialed, it just sleeps long enough to
make a connection, then exits, and getty takes over.....

Thanx again....
