We have optioned our modems to give numeric responses and it has
made life easier for us.  Uugetty (with the "-r") flag needs a
couple of CRs before it wakes up, and it seems that the single
digit response (followed by CR) doesn't give it trouble.  In
the rare event that uugetty *does* read the digit, it won't
go into crazy ucase mode.
