Can you please > tell me how to do this? 1) Use a calling unit instead of a tty (see the sio man page and see /dev/MAKEDEV). 2) Make sure you run getty instead of uugetty or mgetty. 3) Make sure the modem is set correctly. It should be set to reset as if powered off then on on DTR drop. and it should be set to assert DCD only if remote DCD is present. 4) Make sure your cable is a straight cable. > Also, we have a Boca 4 port COM I/O adapter.

See the sio man page and see the LINT kernel configuration, note that you will need to copy the kernel and add only those lines that apply in; the LINT kernel itself probably won't run.
