Our getty is still stone-aged, it uses sgtty internally.  Hence it
doesn't know anything about crtscts.

Your only chance are the initial state / lock state devices (RTFM
sio(4)).  There are hooks in /etc/rc.serial that you can enable for
hard-wired terminals, modems etc.  Enter your line as `modem' there,
and you should be going.
