Hello, 

 I'm back on this task now!!!  I have duplicated your tty entries and gettytab
entries but still cannot get a login prompt.  The modem answers, but that is
it!!  Any ideas?  Below are my relevant tty and gettytab entries.  My modem is
a US Robotics V.Everything with V.34...  #%$@&*

  Thanks,
  Aaron
