D3 is reset, D2 is just drop carrier, disconnect, and go into command mode. Compare with your modem manual to make sure (I was reading a Multitech 224e manual, and that's why I got it wrong). The getty will only spawn login ahead if you are on a /dev/tty00 instead of /dev/cua00 (I think that's the one). Make sure you are using a modem control port so the getty open hangs until DCD is present. Make sure your cable doesn't have pind 8+20 tied together.
