I would like to have a modem line on my FreeBSD system that people can
dial in to, and log into the system.  I have a modem on COM2: (/dev/tty01),
and I have successfully used it to dial out (using kermit, or tip, etc).
And, I understand how to configure the serial port to run getty, and
give a login prompt on the port.  My problem is: how do I give the modem
the required commands to have it auto-answer?  Once I configure the
tty to have getty running on it, it locks the port, and I can not connect
to it.

Has anyone done this?
