As you should be -- it is an excellent program...

Did you install the new pty driver that was included the distribution?
It does not work with some of the earlier versions that are around.

True.  I have the same configuration, and set my L-devices file up as
follows:

OBM ph1 UNIXPC 1200
DIR tty000 0 9600

With L-devices as above, the following (completely unofficial) changes
make the phone number argument optional, making it possible to use
xtclient over a direct line (i.e. "xtclient -l/dev/tty000").  Apply
using "patch".
