  I wonder if my serial chip (on the Intel ZAPPA mother board) was
broken :-(
  There was strange phenomenon: a getty without the deley patch never
showed `login:', but if I did `cat /dev/ttyd1' while the getty waiting
ttyd1, and I called by a modem, then the getty showed the prompt!!

  I believe I did it.  I configured the modem by the followings.
	AT&F
	AT&C1 (DCD signal follows modem CD signal)
	AT&D3 (Reset when DTR on-to-off transition)
	ATS0=1 (Auto answer)
	AT&W (Write parameters)

  Edited /etc/ttys and /etc/gettytab, then kill(1)'ed -HUP 1.
--------- /etc/ttys ---------
ttyd1   "/usr/local/sbin/getty std.38400"       unknown on insecure
--------- /etc/gettytab ---------
std.38400|38400-baud:\
