I have a modem which I use for both dial-in and dial-out. Using sio, if the first dial-in after a reboot failed the modem would go into a loop echoing the login prompt. It turned out that when the DCD line (carrier detect) went low getty was not receiving a SIGHUP. I eventually solved this by removing the CLOCAL flag which was being set in sio.c . I don't know if this is the best fix or whether getty should be changed to remove CLOCAL. Perhaps the authors can comment. By the way, apart from this, sio.c seems to be a great improvement on the old com driver. Dave Matthews.
