Callback responses

My thanks to those who responded to my plea for assistance
implementing a callback mechanism. The solution was very simple:
Instead of fighting init/getty, let them do their work as
normal. This reduced the program to:
callback()
{
if(uucp_lock())
exit();
create_uucp_lock();
sleep(AWHILE);
set_baud_rate();
dial(phone_number);
sleep(ASHORTWHILE);
remove_uucp_lock();
exit();
}
After the number is dialed, it just sleeps long enough to
make a connection, then exits, and getty takes over.....
Thanx again....
