Apparently there is one particular bit of hardware status or perhaps a software flag that is not initialized properly by uucico i.e. getty gets it right, but uucico doesn't. The close(2) call evidently did something to straighten things out so that succeeding attempts worked. We never really fixed the problem, we just used kermit to attempt an outbound connection on each line right after boot. -- Gregg Wonderly DOMAIN: gregg@ihlpb.att.com AT&T Bell Laboratories UUCP: att!ihlpb!gregg
