getty process problem

[Jun Zhang_4]

inittab entry,
a0:3:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty -h ttyd0p7 ult9600
corresponds to a running process,
root 3067 1 0 11:45:45 ttyd0p7 0:00 /usr/sbin/getty -h ttyd0p7 ult9600

After a modem connected from somewhere, the above process becomes,
root 3067 1 0 11:45:45 ttyd0p7 0:00 -ksh
This process will remain even after the remote modem hungup. Now if the remote modem want to make a new connection, it will hang after the CONNECT message. If I kill the -ksh process (has to use -9), a new process will be spawned like the first one listed above, and the remote connection will be normal.

This is a E35 hpux 11.00.
What is the problem?

Sorry I found that I have to logout in kermit connet mode at the client to recover the host's getty process.
