I'm not sure if my problem is the same one but it is certainly
similar.  My dmf 0 and 1 ports are connected to terminals through a
Micom switch at 9600 baud.  Sometimes an init will hang in the open on
the dmf tty.  I am using the standard 4.2 dmf.c (it is version 6.1,
83/07/29).  I have looked at the tp->t_state variable of a hung line
using adb.  One of these lines waiting for its open to complete usually
has t_state = 0x2 = TS_WOPEN.  If that is the case, the line is not
hung and the open will succeed when the carrier is raised on the line.
When the line IS hung it has t_state = 0x206 which is TS_WOPEN |
TS_ISOPEN | TS_HUPCLS.  I can't figure out how the state ever gets set to
206.  I don't see anywhere where HUPCLS is set and it doesn't look like
ISOPEN and WOPEN should be able to be on at the same time.  We must be
at the following sleep in dmfopen() waiting for the wakeup in dmfrint(),
or maybe not.  Any ideas from the wizards?

	s = spl5();
	while ((tp->t_state & TS_CARR_ON) == 0) {
		tp->t_state |= TS_WOPEN;
		sleep((caddr_t)&tp->t_rawq, TTIPRI);
	}
