I have run one system under XENIX 2.3.2 with two lines operating bi-
directionally and SCO UNIX 3.2.1 (ODT 1.0) with one line operating
bidirectionally and uuchat has seemed to work.  Both modems are the
type (USR DS and Telebit TB+) that reset themselves when DTR is dropped,
which uuchat does even if its attempt to talk to the modem fails.

In both cases uuchat is driven (for the Telebit) by entries in Dialers
rather than a dialer program.  For SCO UNIX 3.2.1/ODT 1.0 the manual is
wrong on setting up a bidirectional line, must use /usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -t 60
in place of /etc/getty.
