I assume this is your modified getty, since regular getty doesn't
send data, right?

Look at how 'cu' opens the port.  Pay special attention to the
CLOCAL and HUPCL settings.

Note that you MUST be -CLOCAL, HUPCL for correct dial-in operation
(ie: a modem hangup without logout sends SIGHUP to all processes
in the process group to cause a logout, and logging out drops DTR
to modem to cause it to disconnect).

Talking to the modem from getty is evil.
