Which is what I am doing.

tty03   "/usr/local/libexec/faxgetty"   vt220   on rtscts local

What "non modem control device"? I'm running NetBSD-current.

The problem is that 'faxgetty' is creating a LCK.. file and any
program on the system that honors that (which they should)
cannot dial out.  The flexfax scheme seemed much more intelligent
as it "watched" the port and exec'd a getty if it needed one.
The 'faxgetty' should block on open of the tty and I thought that
the 'local' flag in /etc/ttys would cause that effect.  'softcar'?
