To keep diald from trying to use the device you need to make sure that getty and diald
list the same device.
In diald you are probley using /dev/modem or /dev/cua1 while getty uses /dev/tty?.
Just change your diald to use the
same device.
I recomend that people use the /dev/tty's and forget about /dev/cua's and /dev/modem
they where created to make
the system a little easier to understand to dos/windoze people.
