This is your problem.  If /dev/tty02 is not held open by another
process, then it resets itself as soon as the stty process exits, so
the clocal flag is cleared as soon as you set it.  It's standard
behavior for device drivers to reset themselves when their close()
routine is called.

The 'on'/'off' flag in /etc/ttys determines whether a getty process
should be started for that TTY.  You want it to be off, because you
want to use your modem to dial out.  The 'unknown' is the default
terminal type for dial-in ports, so it is irrelevant for dial-out
ports.  Add a 'local' flag to the end of the line for tty02 in
/etc/ttys.

See ttys(5) and ttyflags(8) for details.
