    I am having a problem with (2) T2500 Telebits that I feel
sure someone has ran into. With SCO's ODT I am trying to setup
the Telebits using uugetty. The advantage of uugetty that I have
found is the device can be used for incoming and outgoing calls
without having any device ownership problems. The /etc/getty 
supplied with SCO ODT changes the owner of the device to
user "bin" and group "terminal" every time the port is enabled, 
this causes a problem with UUCP because it doesn't own the device.

    When I switch to uugetty the Telebits will connect only
for a second, then the answering modem will drop DTR. The
uugetty seems to work fine with a Hayes 9600V or any other
modem I have tried, the problem seems to only be with the T2500.
In fact it even works with a TB+.

    I am using the T2500's in PEP mode, and using the SCO 
dialTBIT dialer.


    If anyone has any ideas send me some mail or post it here.

    Thanks,
