I've called SCO tech support who was unable to help so maybe someone out here
may have some insight.

On our 386 machine at work (configuration below) we have one Trailblazer which
we use for dial in/out.  Sometimes uucp and cu mark the line as "in use" when
the only thing happening is a blocked getty.  I've traced this down to ungetty
returning a return code of 2 when invoked with no switches on the problem
port.  This happens both on tty1A as well as some Digiboard ports.  Most times
disabling and enabling the port restores things though not always.  I have to
reboot the machine about 2-3 times per week to get things back to normal(?).
This causes several calls from users everytime I do it since their DOS LAN
software (rightfully) complains about broken connections.

The kernal is BIG which may be a factor.  It is configured for: Digiboard,
Excelan TCP/IP, Xenix-Net, Multiview and VP/ix.  The machine is a Compaq
386/20 and Xenix-386 is ver. 2.2.3 (2.2.2 after installing VP/ix).

Any help or pointers would be sincerely appreciated.
