Hi,
	I don't know if this is a bug or a feature yet - maybe you could
shed some light on this.

	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?

Lars
