I have setup a modem to allow dial-in access from home and having troubles 
getting it to work right.  I have the following lines in my ttys file:

ttyd1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  dialup  on 
cuaa1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  vt102   off secure

I can use the cuaa1 device to dial out with tip/cu no problem, but when I try 
to dial in, the modem answers and all I get is garbage.  The first thing I 
checked was that I was using the correct mode settings on both ends, and both 
were configured for 8,n,1.  After I connect, if I press one key, I'll get 
about a whole line of garbage. 

Can anybody tell me where to look to find out how to fix this???

Thanks,
