I am running a BSD 4.2 system on a VAX 750.  I have one modem, which I
want to use for dialin as well as dialout - during the day I use 'tip'
to connect to some other systems, at night I'd like to be able to phone
up my system from outside.  The problem is this:  in order to us tip , I
need to kill the 'getty' process running on the dialin line, and to
modify the file '/etc/ttys' to prevent init from starting a new getty.
Then when I want to enable dialin again, I have to change '/etc/ttys'
again.  Needless to say, this seems like a real pain for what should be
rather simple.  Does anyone know a better way to allow both dialing in
and dialing out?
