Yes, the modem has switch 6 up, which asserts CD only when a carrier is
present.  However, while the getty is on the modem line, it is
configured as "local" (so that the getty can send the modem
initialization sequences) and any other dialer program (uucp, etc) can
dial out.

I may have forgotten to mention that I am *not* running this on an AT&T
3bxxx, it is on an IBM RT-PC, running AIX (SYSV).  The uugetty code
posted a while back seemed pretty general, though; I had no problems
making it work on the RT.
