Here's what I do under SCO 2.2:

/usr/lib/uucp/ungetty /dev/tty1A

kermit -l /dev/tty1a ....

/usr/lib/uucp/dialHA24 -h /dev/tty1A 2400

uucp won't dialout on the line after the ungetty, since it puts the
"DIALOUT" entry in utmp.  The dial -h (use whichever dial program is
appropriate: see L-devices) both resets the modem nicely and does an
ungetty -r to restart the getty.

Good luck!
