In the real world this isn't so easy.  I wasted days trying to
get a dial-in/dial-out port working on my 500 without getty
grabbing everything I wanted to send.  I was so glad to see
uugetty when the 800 arrived, hoping my 500 work-around would
not be needed.  It was not.

There is a place for uugetty, Rob, else why would HP ship it?
