Rob, I tried to address your problem via e-mail, but it bounced. Why is using getty less than optimal? FAS, with it's dial-in/dial-out feature, is designed for getty use. What's so special about your uugetty that you can't switch to getty? I don't know the SCO uugetty, but the standard uugetty on most SysVr3 releases doesn't have any features that getty doesn't have, except that you can dial out while uugetty waits for a dial-in. Actually, most implementations of uugetty are brain dead, anyway. With FAS, you put getty on the port with the minor device number 208 + port#, and do the dial-outs on the device with minor device number 80 + port#. No need to use uugetty anymore. Note that you need to use the `-h' flag for getty to prevent a hang-up on dial in. At first, I thought that this was the reason for your problem, but as you used uugetty, I really don't know what the cause of your uugetty hang-ups could be.
