...I assume he means add the user to the group i.e.
dialout::20:uucp
becomes
dialout::20:uucp,fred
...where fred is the user who needs to dial out. This may or may not
be an issue on your system - if you're getting any kind of connection
whatsoever then I think you can just leave /etc/group as it is. I
certainly never edited it when setting up PPP on mine.

setserial, not serserial.
If you're just dialling out, why do you need a getty on the line to
the modem? Am I missing something here?
