Hello,

I have read the faqs and the handbook on all related subjects but I
still need a hand.

I am having a problem getting getty to watch my port.  It sleeps on
that port fine but never issues a login prompt.  The modem answers
every time and the light lights when I get a login prompt at bootup.
I hardcoded the autoanswer command and a reset-when DTR-goes-low
command as well.

The modem answers every time just fine, but instead of a login I get:

Connect 28800/ARQ/V34/LAPM
klf-0ew 95k 3-kghb-hk letr

But no login!  When I type I get garbage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
