   I posted a previous article on some problems I was having installing a
   modem to be used as a dial-in line on our HP 9000,730.  Thanks to a helpful
   hint I now have the getty process checking for activity on the modem line.
   However, when you try to connect to the modem, it allows you to connect, but
   then it writes a bunch of garbage to the screen.  It says connect, but gives
   no speed. For example, when one usually connects to a remote host vi a modem,   the host usually replies with a CONNECT 2400   or whatever speed you are
   communicating at.  Ours does not give a speed, and the rest of the stuff
   is a bunch of junk.  I am using a Practical Peripherals 2400 baud modem, and
   have set the modem to check and follow the DCD and DTR signals; as discussed
   in the HP manuals.  I can't figure out why it won't work.  Does anybody, have   any suggestions ?
