: To avoid getty babble, the answering modem must be configured as follows

That shouldn't be necessary on any modern Unix.  The Unix getty, starting
with early SVR3, should ignore any incoming characters if CD is not high,
masking this very problem.  Prior to the change, made specifically for
"chatty" modems, the getty was blocked from opening, waiting for CD, but as
soon as it did open, the previously buffered "RING" would be delivered to
the getty.
