Depending on the system :-) it is probably the result of a modified entry in the
file /etc/gettydefs .  This file contains the line parameters for various points
during the 'life' of the line.  Specifically, line paramters to be used when
running a getty, line parameters to use when getty/login has been successful,
and the login prompt to be displayed.

If the modem port has its own series of gettydefs, they can be set up with that
login prompt.
