I'm trying to configure a dialin port on a RELENG_2_2 machine (cvsup-ed
last monday)

If I set the modem to auto-answer, everything works as expected.

If I clear the autoanswer mode, and try to use the new 'ic' and 'ac'
capabilities of getty, the only result I get is a couple of syslog
entries like 'modem init problem on /dev/ttyd1' and 'modem answer
problem on /dev/ttyd1' (the latter only if I disable 'ic', otherwise it
simply loops the first message every 'tc' seconds)

There must be something wrong in my setup.
Is it correct to use getty on a ttydX when it opens the port in
non-blocking mode (like when you specify 'ac', as documented in man
getty).
Or should I use cuaaX ?

Is there someone else using those capabilities?

Thanks for any help.
