"no modem attached directly to the Sun. There is a modem pool on the
"network which the Sun can access just like any other host.

in the sV world, there's ct (call terminal).  it works like cu; it can
access any device configured in /usr/lib/uucp, but spawns getty when
it connects.  (if you don't know how to make uucp tap a modem pool, go
back and *RTFM*!)

i used to spawn it from at-jobs, when i *knew* i'd be working @home.
