I used mgetty on a Mac IIcx under NetBSD without any problems.  To make it
run, I grabbed the FreeBSD port (what NetBSD calls packages).  The NetBSD
package system fails to install it, but it applies the BSD patches.  After
running make in the package directory you can follow the standard mgetty
install instructions with the files in the working directory of the
package.

I'm not running it any longer, so I can't check specifics any longer.  I
was running two modems for PPP dial ups, but the machine was too slow.  I
replaced it with a Sonic QuickStream Pro.  I will try to answer any
questions you may have.
