This function is responsible for setting up the flags in the tty structure (B300, CS8, CREAD, HUPCL, in this case). I just checked it on my system, and it works this way. So either the ttinit() function in ESIX is broken, and was "fixed" by their asy driver, or this asy driver always enabled HUPCL, regardless of what state it would be set to by the ioctl() TCSETA* call. In both cases you need to find a way to enable the HUPCL flag on login. Did you check the /etc/gettydefs file? Is the HUPCL flag contained in the line you use for that port? If not, add it. >2.

I'm not sure, but I heard of uucicos that don't like long login banners and give up if there is no Shere= message contained in a certain number of characters. That would also explain why this only happens with one of the UUCP sites. The other two may have shorter banners. Short from replacing uucico, I don't know how to fix this.
