I am at my wits end.  I spent the better part of this afternoon trying to
get a uugetty(1M) working on my 3B1.  This is a desperate appeal for help.

Background:
I have an AT&T 3B1 running HDB uucp.  A 2400B 'Hayes compatable' modem
(Anchor 2400E) modem is attached to a serial port (tty001) and is set to
auto answer.  A uugetty is running on that port.

Symptoms:
All outgoing commands (uucp, cu) work perfectly.  The modem will answer,
but the uugetty acts down right bizarre.  It doesn't seem to see any
incoming characters and spews out randowm characters along with a login prompt
now and again.

Files:

In '/etc/inittab', the definition for the port is-
 001:2:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t60 tty001 2400M

The '/etc/gettydefs' definition is-
2400M# B2400 BRKINT IGNPAR ISTRIP IXON IXOFF ECHO OPOST ONLCR # HUPCL BRKINT ISTRIP ICRNL IXON OPOST ONLCR B2400 CS8 CREAD ISIG ICANON ECHO ECHOE ECHOK TAB3 #\nlogin: #1200M

The modem was initialized with the following '/usr/lib/uucp/Dialers' entry-
hayes	=,-,	"" \M\dAT&D3&C1S0=1&W\d\r\c OK\r ATDT\T\r\c CONNECT \m\c

For reference, the '/usr/lib/uucp/Devices' entries-
ACU1 tty001,M - 2400 hayes \T
ACU1 tty001,M - 1200 hayes \T
ACU1 tty001,M - 300 hayes \T

Hardware settings:
Hardware flow control is disabled on the tty port (actually tried it both ways).
The modem is hardware switched so that the modem uses the DTR signal supplied
by the computer, the modem's outgoing carrier detect signal is supplied to
the computer, and the modem supplies its DSR signal to the computer.


Does anyone have any idea how to set this up so that I can have a two
way line?  Any working examples, hand holding, etc. will be greatly
appreciated.
