I'm interested in a bidirectional similar to the uugetty program found on
some implementations of HDB uucp.  I need to be able to allow users to
dialin on the same line that I use for my uucp connections and personal
dialouts.  If I have a the getty for the port turned on (So users can
dialin) and I try to tip to another machine, I get the following:

tip: /dev/ttya: Permission denied
all ports busy

And for cu I get:
Connect failed: CAN'T ACCESS DEVICE

Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?
