okay.  since we are sending out ugly solutions, how about an almost
clean one which works flawlessly modulo 200 or some phone calls a day ...

compile this, move /etc/getty to /etc/ogetty and copy the a.out to
/etc/getty.  don't forget to change a few things, like line number
and so on.  all you have to do is insure the modem is hung-up before
invoking getty.  this was just a simple hack i wrote some months ago
and it has worked since.

--- fkgetty.c ---
main (argc, argv, envp)
int	argc;
char	*argv[], *envp[];
{
	if (argc < 2 || strcmp (argv[1], "tty1A") != 0) {
		execl ( "/etc/ogetty", argv[0], argv[1],
			argv[2], argv[3], (char *) 0 );
			_exit (127);
	}
	sleep (1);
	system ("/usr/lib/uucp/dial -h /dev/tty1A 2400");
	sleep (1);
	execl ("/etc/ogetty", argv[0], argv[1], argv[2], argv[3], (char *) 0);
	_exit (127);
}
