Are you sure you don't have a getty running on the port?
I though I had this problem.  Try a ps -gaxuw | grep ttyd1.
the problem is, that the getty for modem connections doesn't run connected
to the port.
at least, until you actually dial in and the login: prompt get's spit out
accross the connection.
Are you sure you're modem's set to auto-answer?  If not, enter the
appropriate switches using tip, the go try and dialin.
The getty is probably running, it's just that a ps -agO user (which is my
standard command) doesn't pick it up because it's not a standard system
process, and it's not attached to a port.
If any of this is flawed or doesn't work, it's not my fault; I'm not a
part of the core team, I don't know the source by heart; all I know is, I
got it to work like this.

Hope it helps!!
