I had the same problem with my serial port. The catch-22 was that getty
with a modem expected modem controls. The call to enix solved the problem.
I made a new node with the modem controls. It seems their drivers support
it.
type:
mknod /dev/ttyM00 c 3 128
then respawn /usr/lib/uucp/uugetty ttyM00.
That will work fine.

I still haven't solved this problem. Anyone else?
