I have an interesting problem.

I would like to have my modem dial a phone #, connect, and have getty detect
DCD and proceed with the login process.

I've tried a lot of things, including writing my own C program to interface
with the serial port (/dev/cuaa2, etc).  I initially had a hard time getting
'stty' to set up the port correctly.  I believe I finally have this resolved
thanks to rc.serial.

I've fiddled with this one for a while.  Does anyone have any answers?  Thanks.
