/usr/pkgsrc/comms/mgetty+sendfax/ is highly recommended. i couldn't get
my modem to answer with getty, but it works fine with mgetty:

  % more /etc/ttys
  ...
  # doesn't work: modem doesn't answer
  #ttyC2  "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600"  dialup on
  #
  # mgetty replacement 
  ttyC2   "/usr/pkg/sbin/mgetty"  dialup on
  ...

  % more /etc/passwd
  ...
  ppp1:*:201:200:a        ppp user,,,:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/pppd
  ppp2:*:203:200:a nother ppp user,,,:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/pppd
  ...

plus, with mgetty's fax capabilities, as an added bonus, you will soon
be receiving helpful faxes several times a week offering you cheap
cellular phones and tropical vacation packages.
