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.
