Does anyone have an entry they have created in the /etc/gettytab file for a
zoom56 external modem?  When I use the standard (std.xxx) entries the modem
either answers and spews crap or never answers at all.  

If I try to create my own based on the init strings from the book that came
with the modem using the :ic: command in the gettytab entry, the 'ps' command
shows that the getty program was able to grab a tty line and I get messages
from getty that there were modem init problems.  I cannot figure out for the
life of me how to set this up per the documentation.

I am not sure how this is ever expected to work as if I can send AT commands
to the modem via the :ic: section of the gettytab file of course getty was
able to open the serial line???  So why is this a problem?  What does getty
continue to respawn?
