I think I can help you with the silo overflows.
First your /etc/ttys entry for tty00 works?
tty00   "/usr/libexec/getty d57600"     dialup rtscts

does ps -aux show getty running on tty00 ?
Maybe 
tty00   none                            network off secure
would be better for testing?

To get hardware flow control going the modem must be configured
 to do software hangup and ignore DTR being dropped.
Your MODEM string is close.
AT &F E1 V1 Q0 &A3 &B1 &H1 &R2 &D0 &C1 X4 S0=0 S7=90
Change E1 to E0 (never echo the AT commands back.)
And add    Y1 &S1 

My MODEM string is:
AT &F H0 M0 E0 W1 Y1 &S1 &D0 &C1
&F Load factory profile
( E1  L1  M1  N1  Q0  V1  W0  X4  Y0 &C1 &D2 &G0 &K3 &P0 
 &Q5 &S0 &T5 &Y0 %C3 %E2 \A1 \G0 \N3 )

H0  Force modem on hook.
M0  Speeker off.
E0  Echo off.
W1  Report DCE, DTC, connection protocol.
Y1  Enable long space disconect.
&S1 DSR active after answer tone detected, inactive after carrier loss.
&D0 DTR assumed on. Allows opperation with DTEs that do not provide DTR
signal.
&C1 RLSD (DCD) fallows remote carrier.

In your /etc/ppp/options file add:
tty00 57600                     # modem port and speed
lock                            # lock the modem port on connect
modem                           # use full modem control
#crtscts                        # use hardware flow control
cdtrcts                         # use alternate hardware flow control
nobsdcomp
nodeflate
novj

My /etc/ppp/options
Looks like:

tty00 57600                     # modem port and speed
disconnect /etc/ppp/ppp-down
lock                            # lock the modem port on connect
modem                           # use full modem control
passive                         # wait for remote to come up
#crtscts                        # use hardware flow control
cdtrcts
bsdcomp 9,15
deflate 9,15
vj-max-slots 16
defaultroute                    # add default routing when link comes up
noipdefault                     # no local defaults for IP addresses
ipcp-accept-local               # allow remote to specify our IP address
ipcp-accept-remote              # allow remote to specify his IP address
lcp-echo-interval 30            # ping the remote every 30 seconds
lcp-echo-failure 10             # declare link down after 10 pings fail
netmask 255.255.255.0           # netmask for our assigned IP address
domain <myISPdomain name>       # domain name we're connecting into
user <myISPusername>            # account name to use to log onto remote

Then add the line:
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0
to your /etc/netstart.local


Thats about it.
