in /etc/ttys

        ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty bidir.115200-hf"    dialup  on

in /etc/gettytab

        bidir.115200-hf|bidirectional line, locked DCE speed, hardware flow:\
                :bi:np:hf:sp#115200:

and I am very confused about either /etc/rc.serial or /etc/rc.local.  On my 
2.1 system, they are both there, and I have the following in /etc/rc.serial 
(this is the only part of the file I have modified):

default() {
        # Reset everything changed by the other functions to initial defaults.
        for i in $*
        do
#               comcontrol /dev/ttyd$i dtrwait 300 drainwait 0
#               stty </dev/ttyid$i -clocal  crtscts  hupcl 9600 reprint ^R
#               stty </dev/ttyld$i -clocal -crtscts -hupcl 0
#               stty </dev/cuaia$i -clocal  crtscts  hupcl 9600 reprint ^R
#               stty </dev/cuala$i -clocal -crtscts -hupcl 0
                comcontrol /dev/ttyd$i dtrwait 0 drainwait 0
                stty </dev/ttyid$i -clocal  crtscts  hupcl 57600 reprint ^R
                stty </dev/ttyld$i -clocal -crtscts -hupcl 0
                stty </dev/cuaia$i -clocal  crtscts  hupcl 57600 reprint ^R
                stty </dev/cuala$i -clocal -crtscts -hupcl 0
        done
        stty -f /dev/ttyd0 -clocal -crtscts
        stty -f /dev/ttyd1 -clocal -crtscts
}

Thanks for any help...
