In article <90243.123640RREED@ucf1vm.cc.ucf.edu> you write:

Rather than using uugetty, use either the async driver on the X5 or X6
update disks, or else the public FAS driver posted here.  Both of them
provide separate /dev entries for dialin and dialout, so you can run a
modem both ways without uugetty.  I have used both, and they both work.

FAS is somewhat faster, X5/X6 supports VP/ix.  Both take advantage of
the extra buffering in a 16550 ASYNC chip.
