My setup is a symlink /dev/modem -> /dev/cuaa2 and an entry in /etc/ttys

modem   "/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty"       vt100 on

Kermit and pppd (with chat) works fine on /dev/modem too, only faxgetty
somtime dies by signal 11 if it is blocked by pppd, but this dosen't matter
besides a corefile, because it is automatically started new.
It is importand every program using /dev/modem creating a lockfile (/var/spool/lock)
of same kind (ASCII), or faxgetty will kill it after a view secounds.
