Driving modems with tip...

[Jerry Aguirre]

The every other character symptom sounds like two processes trying
to read the same line.  Is the line enabled for login at the time you
are trying to autodial?

As I understand using the same line for auto-answer and dialout can only
be done if you modify the tty driver to arbitrate between the two.
