Firstly configure the dialup port, and secondly get a getty running on the dialup port. To configure the dialup ( I'll assume it's sio0 that you're using) in your /etc/rc.local put a line like stty -f /dev/ttyid0 crtscts 115200 to configure the serial line. Don't use 115200 unless you have a v34 modem & 16550 UARTs, use something slower, 19200 or 38400. Then you neet to add the getty line to /etc/ttys ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" ansi on secure lastly edit your /etc/gettytab to have an entry like std.115200|115200-baud:\ :np:sp#115200: You can just copy the 9600 baud entry & put in the correct speed. One little hint, ttyid0 is the device you use to configure ttyd0, similarly for dialout devices, cuaia0 is for cuaa0. I'm no unix guru, but my system works, so I hope you can get yours going.
