Does anyone know of a trick to use in /etc/ttys that will let me use a modem off of one of the the ttyd lines that currently has a getty line turned on but is not currently in use? In other words, is there a way to use say ttyd2 when the modem is idle, so that I can dial out without actually modifying the /etc/ttys file and doing a kill -1 1 and killing the getty process? For those familiar with mgetty, i have tried using the /etc/nologin.ttyd2 but that only prevents mgetty/vgetty from answer the phone. It does not free up the port. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.
