On the 6386 I worked on , uugetty would only create output if it 
first received input from the line. I used modem control for uugetty
ala `u0:3:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r ttyM01 2400` in inittab and 
turned off echoing from the modem. I could use the pcomm program while uugetty 
was on the line. This was for V 3.1 though .
