 yup my hack also can only work for uucp because my uucico does all
these things itself that normally are in the tty driver...  like look
for carrier, etc.

 (do you know the story of the machine called watzman that had the
port in local mode?  every time it printed its name the modem said...
OK :)

 hmm i even have the .zoo here, only did not test it yet because i
usually have the modem on modem2 (SCC) and run uucp @ 38400 bps...
anyway i'll have a look, maybe i can find something.
