I think you guys implicitly assume that a dial-in and its
corresponding dial-out device must share the same tty structure in the
driver. That need not be the case. In fact, separating the tty
structures simplifies matters and nicely solves the problem of
restoring the tty state on the dial-in device after the dial-out
device has been used.
