  I have been using the the port to dial in and out on since I started running
FreeBSD.  Last night my machine locked up and when I rebooted, I couldn't dial
out using cu.  It told me that all ports are busy.  I went in to /etc/ttys and
turn the port off.  Did the kill -1 1 and tried again.  cu worked.  I went and
set /etc/ttys back the way it was and cu gave me the error again.  Now, it has
been 2 year since I set this system up and I have looked thru the FAQ and
handbook and cann't find anything.  Is there something I have to set to get
the port to work for both dail in and out?  THANKS for the help in advance!!
