  Well, I'm having a small problem enabling dialins on the FreeBSD box at 
work.  When I dial in, it connects fine, but all I get is garbage when I 
connect and hit any key.  I've tried parity changes and what not, but nothing
seems to work.  My guess is it has to do with the /etc/gettytab file, but
I'm not exactly sure what.

my /etc/ttys
 # Serial terminals
 ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup on insecure

my /etc/gettytab
std.115200|115200-baud:\
        :np:nd#1:cd#2:td#1:fd#1:sp#115200:ht:nl:lm=\E\72\6\6\17login\72 :
Any suggestions would be appreciated..thanx..
