	Should be:

		ACU    ph0    ph0 1200 PC7300 \T
		ACU    tty000,M  -  9600 ark24k
		Direct tty001,M  -  Any  direct
		Direct tty002,M  -  Any  direct
		Direct tty003,M  -  Any  direct
		Direct tty004,M  -  Any  direct

	in order for the "\M", "\m" stuff to work
	correctly - otherwise you will indeed have
	problems with DCD. This stuff was documented
	in the comment headers of the relevant files
	for System V release 3 BNU uucp, but I'm not
	sure where else I've seen it...

Cheers,
