Hi.
 
Has anybody been able to get uugetty to work on outgoing uucico calls
and on incoming non-uucico calls on the same modem?
 
When I try it, the outgoing works fine, but trying to dial in produces
strange results:
1.  Only every other call connects, the other just answers and goes nowhere.
2.  A Ctrl-D sometimes drops carrier, sometimes not.
3.  If the remote station drops carrier, for whatever reason, the user
    is *not* logged off, keeping the line open so that the NEXT caller can
    sometimes get in without having to log in.
 
I have tried this with several modems and on several ports, so I am ruling
out most hardware possibilities.  Can anybody offer any suggestions?
