Make sure your modem cables have all lines connected.

Most importantly, check the modem configuration, make sure it is sending 
a real carrier detect to the computer, and that it resets itself and 
hangs up the line when the DTR line is toggled, and that it is using 
rts/cts handshaking.

Usaully, the modem configuration will say something like: &C1 &D2 , Check 
your modem manual to see what it uses exactly, and make sure that it is 
stored as default in the modems EEPROM.

You should also have a line in your rc.serial that is setting the port 
speed and enabling crtscts there as well.
