Well, it won't do much good if /etc/inittab isn't setup for the modem. I did a 
dial-in server w/Bering around a month ago..... you will need to set inittab 
manually (as any LEAF variant has always required IIRC). 

I don't believe there is an (easy) way to set up getty to do modems.
Also, make sure that mgetty answers the modem, not the modem itself.
