  I'm having serious problems with my UNIXpc communications, and was wondering
  if anybody can offer some advise.  First, a little background:
  
...
  And here's a summary of my crash problem, HELP!:
  
  1.	"uucico -r1" executed by cron (smgr) @ 2:00am
  2.	Woke up @ 7:00am, went to check mail and news,
  	uucico still running (apparently hung), /usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE
  	says OK (conversation complete), setgetty also running (apparently
  	hung).
  	NOTE: I did "ls -l /dev/ph1" and the group was set to "mail", /dev/ph0
  	is set to "sys".
  3.	kill -9 uucico, and kill -9 setgetty
...

I have had this problem *many* times.  uucico calls setgetty to restore the
phone line as a dial in line.  The problem lies in setgetty.  I believe it
hangs when the line is left off hook for some reason.  Mind you, i'm just
guessing.  I've brought this problem up with our sales rep. several times,
and I've also spoken to people on the hot line.  I did receive a fix disk
with a new uucico, but the problem still persists.  I get out of the jam by
doing a system shutdown and re-booting.  This is not great, but for a lack of
any other info., it's all I can do to restore our uucp link. I too would
appreciate some answers from people in the know...

	Thanks,
