I have been reading the info about setting up the ttys file, so that my
system can handle a remote dialup.  (I like to work on the system while
away at times).  I called into the system, even a friend did, and the
modem lights would indicate that there was a call.  But the system did
not pick up the line.  
I disabled 2 of the terminals, hoping that would help, but it didn't.  
I configured the dial on inscure part, but nothing has happened.  
Thanks.
