I have seen the same problem with a number of intelligent I/O boards. The
solution is to use the non-modem-control device for calling out. Naturally,
you need to write a script to disable the modem-control device, do the
cu, and then enable the modem-control device.
Two different serial-board mfrs have claimed that this is a "bug" in the
combination of HDB uucp and XENIX and they have no way around it.
