Hello,

  In my opinion you cant dial in AND out with the same port on
386BSD. The settings are completely different for the two. If you
want to dial out, you should first shut up the getty in /etc/ttys.
If you want to dial in you should put up the getty, and have a
setting in /etc/gettytab to set the line disipline to modem.
  I also had the problem that my 'intelligent' hayes compatible
(Tornado) modem kept talking to getty. You get a very interesting
conversation between getty (Login:) and my modem saying RING.
