After several business trips, I am once again trying to get dialin working
under FreeBSD 1.1.5.1.  It seems when I turn on ttyd1 in my /etc/ttys file,
my modem's receive and send data lights come on, and I am unable to use
cua01 to dial out-I get a device busy or something like that.  If I turn off
the modem to reset it, I can use cua01, though the RD and SD light will come
back on.  

Also, I cannot seem to get getty to run on port ttyd1.  The closest I get it
'login -p -ml com) ' and some thing else after that.A  I think the two
problems are related.  I'm running on a Gateway 2000, 486Dx2-66, with a Hayes
Accura 288 V.FC + FAX(I'm only using it at 9600 to avoid other posible
problems.)

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
-Ron
