Check your devices.  The minor number should 128 higher for lines with
modem control.  Here is part of my /dev directory:

crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root       3,  0 Nov 22 20:16 /dev/tty00
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root       3,  1 Nov 22 20:16 /dev/tty01

If i wanted modem control on say tty00 I would do something like this:

mknod ttym00 c 3 128

Then use ttym00 in the various uucp files and inittab.  See if that helps.

NOTE:  This works with ESIX 3.2 Rel B, C or D.  See asy(7) for more details
or for other versions of Unix.
