We have Boca 28.8 modems, and 3 digiboard 16 port boxes. You should not have 
to do any changing to the gettytab file from the way it came from BSD. The 
main file to worry about is the ttys file. Here is what we have for our first 
16 ports:

ttyA00  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA01  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA02  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA03  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA04  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA05  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA06  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA07  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA08  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA09  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA0a  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA0b  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA0c  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA0d  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA0e  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on
ttyA0f  "/usr/libexec/getty t57600-hf"  dialup  on

This should work for you also. Keep in mind that our modems are not used for 
dialing out, and the "hf" is for hardware flow control. Hope this helps.
