I had eg.
tty00   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown on rtscts

Few - that cuts down many variables!

I had it set to 2.

I wondered about those, but those are the default values on my modem too.

And for me:
at&v
ACTIVE PROFILE:
B0 E1 L1 M1 N1 Q0 T V1 W0 X4 Y0 &C1 &D2 &G2 &J0 &K3 &Q5 &R1 &S0 &T5 &X0 &Y0
S00:002 S01:000 S02:043 S03:013 S04:010 S05:008 S06:004 S07:050 S08:002 S09:006
S10:014 S11:095 S12:050 S18:000 S25:005 S26:001 S36:007 S37:000 S38:020 S44:020
S46:138 S48:007 S95:000 

The differences seem to be:
 B1  B0	Bell mode (irrelevant)
 W2  W0	? I don't know what this is.
&G0 &G2	Guard tone selection (irrelevant)
S00:1 2 One ring / two rings
S06:2 4 Wait 2/4 secs before dialing

It is external - if only it were easier! - the AA LED flashes each
time the phone rings.

Naturally this no-name modem comes with a high quality printed manual:
"Your Easy Installation Guide": Select Control panel... on one sheet
of A4. It does say it is Hayes compatible (one piece of useful info)

Thanks for your in-depth reply, but I still don't see the
difference. It must be a configuration thing as when I have kermit
running on the NetBSD box, the modem does answer and connects, however
when I have getty running instead, the modem doesn't answer.
