I'm not familer with your network, but you might try this:  If it is supposed to
look like a network then it should bring up DCD and CTS when a call "connects".
Your getty should be keeping DTR up so the "modem" knows it is ok to answer a
call.  If you can keep DCD from coming up until after the control messages, a
uugetty from the /usr/lib/uucp directory should block on open until this 
control signal is seen.

Hope this helps
Dan
