No.  I've had two reports about utmp logging.  Everything else has 
been either finger trouble or people using archaic versions of the 
software.

Of course lots of people don't read the documentation - but there's

direction :-)

What does `show modem' say ?  Are you using the correct device ?  Can 
you access it with tip/cu/kermit etc ?  Are you sure you have no IRQ 
conflicts ?
