Bidirectional Service

If a port is configured for bidirectional service, the ttymon port monitor does the following:

• Allows users to connect to a service.

• Allows the uucico, cu, or ct commands to use the port for dialing out, if the port is free.

• Waits to read a character before printing a prompt.

• Invokes the port's associated service, without sending the prompt message, when a connection is requested, if the connect-on-carrier flag is set.
