I am running FreeBSD 1.1 Release.  I can't get my dial in work either.
However, I tried only 38400 and 19200.  Can't say for 9600 (I will try
next Monday).

Instead of ttyd0, I used tty00.  
Wonder if it make a difference.

The problem was: the modem picks up the call (because I set Auto answer),
but the getty doesn't come on (no login prompt).  Then the modem hangup
and off hook again and again.

If you have a solution, I would appreciate if you could let me know.

Thank you.
