[I got login: and password: prompt dialing into my FreeBSD modem sitting
on a getty, but it hung at the password: prompt and connection timed
out after 300 seconds; telnet was fine, so the account was OK]

I'll be danged! That was it. I was using tip from a FreeBSD-2.1.7 box
to connect to the modem/getty on a 2.2.1 box.

I was able get in fine with a lowly WinDoze terminal emulation,
telling the modem to dial with the usual ATDT stuff.

Sounds like some problem with tip?

Thanks!
