Basically, the way uucp is now configured the outgoing tty needs to have clocal turned off (-clocal) in order for uucp to be able to dial out. That is fine if you have a dedicated line, I don't and use faxd as my getty. Faxd will always make sure that clocal is turned on for the tty and this works well with tip, seyon and chat (I haven't installed kermit). If I turn on the HAVE_CLOCAL_BUG in the uucp config file, uucp also works fine, with or without faxd. So, does this mean FreeBSD has the clocal bug or not?
