	Have you also installed the HDBadmin package?  If so, you should be
able to go into the 'install' login, select admin, then serial port setup,
and tell the system that it is connected to a modem, and is used for both
logins and outgoing calls, and it should set up the appropriate 'uugetty'
line in /etc/inittab.  Here's one which was used for a direct line to
another 3b1 in my house. NOTE THE LEADING SPACE! it is necessary.  You might
have to edit the line after the admin stuff gets done, since it may not
believe that a modem can be used at 9600 or so.

 000:2:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t60 tty000 9600

	I don't usually worry about what flag files are set up for this, I
just let ua deal with them for me, unless it is outside the ken of ua.  This
way I keep (some of) my sanity, while dealing with 3 unix-pcs, one v7
system, and a BSD4.2, all at home.  When it was just the v7, I knew every
detail of how to make it perform, but things have gotten more complicated,
and in diverging directions. :-)

	Good Luck
