Set your modem to auto-answer with ATS0=1 then write it to the modem's NVRAM with AT&W. This way, every time the modem is powered up the auto-answer mode is set. If you are setting up dialup access, you may be interested in mgetty, which is much more intelligent about modems than the standard getty. Mgetty is in the ports tree.
