]For a Hayes-thingie modem, use the "uugetty -r -t 60" options.  The

	I seem to be missing something with all this discussion of 
	bi-directional modem use on 3b's.  As the above states, you have
	to leave CD tied hi at all times for dial-out.  What happens on
	dial-in when the carrier is inadvertently dropped?  The system
	never sees the carrier go away, as CD is tied hi.  So, another
	person calling in is dropped into the middle of the previous
	callers login.  Could be real embarrassing.  Has this been 
	discussed at all or have I just missed the answer?
