How can I configure a modem line for dial in and dial out on a single line?  I
have a MultiTech card in an RT running AIX 2.1.2.  The Communications Guide
describes in detail how to set up incoming only or outgoing only.  It makes a
few references to using one line for both directions, but it never gives any
details on how to do it.

I've tried to set it up myself, but every time init spawns a new getty for the
incoming side, it changes the owner of the serial line to root, and the mode
to 622.  The next time uucico tries to open the line for an outgoing call, it
fails (of course).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
