I'll bet you $5 that the modem is incorrectly set to a different speed
from the getty.  Use tip to connect to the modem at 19200, 
type 'AT&Q' to get your modem to lock onto your current speed, and then
type 'AT&W' to save this value into the modem.

Power cycle the modem, and then stop/restart the getty (some or all of
these may not be necessary).

It should work fine now.
