On a UNIX system, disable getty on a modem port. Then run a TERM script that does an answer wait on the modem. The script should continue to execute when someone dials into that modem.

When you run this script in the background using the ampersand character:

term modemscript.cmd &

the script never answers the modem, even if the script works properly run without the & switch. The TERM process runs, but it does not answer the modem.

CR 228, all background scripts fail on Sun
