FreeBSD, I believe, uses a kernel based interlocking mechanism for sharing a single modem for dial in/out. You run getty on /dev/ttyd1 and you run your dialout programs on /dev/cuaa1 You need to MAKEDEV each device if they don't exist. You also have the choice of running mgetty instead of getty, which uses user level locking instead. In which case, you run mgetty and your dialout programs on /dev/cuaa1. However, all your dialout programs have to use the same user level locking scheme that mgetty does. Brian Litzinger brian@mediacity.com
