uugetty has been in use on sgi.sgi.com for years and sounds like what is
needed.  It is used within Silicon Graphics on various machines for SLIP
and dial-up lines.

The script "/usr/lib/uucp/fix-telebit" might be useful, given args like
`fix-telebit -io d2` to poke at a T2500 on /dev/ttyd2.  You can adjust the
script to set the T2500 (or TB+ or T1[05]00) to your notion of correctness.

You will need a cable with pins 2,3,4,5,7,8, and 9/20 connected, as
described in one of the manuals.  (Sorry, I can never find it, although
I've seen and helped edit the text and tables many times.)

Uugetty should be told to use /dev/ttyf* in /etc/inittab, which means you
will need to turn off the *getty in /etc/inittab when running fix-telebit.
Lines in /usr/lib/uucp/Systems should use entries that ultimately connect
to /dev/ttyf*.

You will need to adjust /usr/lib/uucp/Devices appropriatedly.  There are
some examples in the 3.3 version.
