    Apart from setting your modem to answer incoming calls have you enabled the
    port for login in /etc/ttys.

    If you are on the first serial port you must change the ttyd0 line from 'off'
    to 'on' and possibly choose a different getty argument. A predefined set of
    modem interface parameters is available in /etc/gettytab.
