Once upon a time, you could do a kernel configuration change and create
devices for terminal lines on SUNS which differered by 128 in their device
number and would get incoming dialin lines which issued a hangup to the
shell when the carrier was lost, and which could also be dialed out on if
no login is present.  The descriptions of how this works still appear in
the SUN manual pages.  The SPARC systems which use the eeprom funtion to
control serial line and other parameters indicated that these features
should work, but I have never been able to get them to work.  Has anyone
out there in USENET land gotten them to work?  If so, HOW!
