   The system seems to ignore CD...when uugetty fires up, it immediately
   sends /etc/issue and a login prompt, instead of waiting for someone to
   call. What do I need to include to get the modem working properly
   with the system?

Make sure uugetty is really runing off CLOCAL; in 0.99pl5, CLOCAL is on
by default. So if uugetty wasn't really paying attention to gettydefs,
then it might have worked in 0.99pl4, and not in 0.99pl5.

Also, uugetty (if it is the one which is part of the gettyps package)
opens the serial port with the O_NONBLOCK flag, which means the open
doesn't block until the CD line is asserted.
