The problem with the MTI multiplexor is halfway solved...
Come to find out that pin 6 was NOT going through on my
cable. After fixing that, getty will bring up a login on
the line when answering the phone.

However, when opening the line as a cua (minor dev num >=128),
all incoming text is ignored until a carrier is asserted. Needless
to say, uucp just doesn't work well "in the dark."

Yes, I could fool uucp by telling it that the line is a "dir"
and put the dialing in the chat script, but that is a less than
optimal solution when a second or third modem is added to
the system.

Is there a solution for THIS one? :-)
