I was using the same modem when I when I connected it to COM1 and also with COM2. I just have to transfer the cable to connect to COM2. Also, I tried cuaa1 instead of ttyd1, but still I had the same problem. The mgetty process finds it hard to terminate. Based from the lights on the modem, I just see two light up and CD is not one of those which indicates that CD is not asserted all the time. Thank you. -- jf
