use mgetty...  much better.  it's in the ports collecction.  i'm using
it on this modem port here [read mail at home, when at work], and on a
directly connected vt420 terminal in the living room.  different
/etc/issue files for each too...

mgetty also handles fax and voice connections.

i usually replace everything but the console with mgetty.
