I don't use mgetty, because I don't need the extra features and getty
works fine, if you set your modem up correctly. This is from a Zoom:

/etc/ttys:

ttyd1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  unknown on insecure

Works for dial-in and out, ppp in and out and uucp in and out. Note
that USR's need a different &D? setting (&D2, I think.)
