Indeed.  Getty(8) ain't built into the /stand stuff.  However, you 
could be smart (?)... remember, you've got ppp(8) :-)

There's nothing stopping you setting up callback (with a reasonable 
DELAY), doing the initial connection, then going into ``term'' mode 
and waiting for the RING.  A quick ATA followed by a ~p and you 
should be in business !

I've never tried it, but the theory's sound.
