I've got our PI running with a T2500 at 19200 for dial-in & dial-out
usage.  I'm running uugetty on the port and have the modem set for
constant 19200 baud rate with full modem control.  I also have the
dial-in set for dial-up password request on the SGI (/etc/dialups
and /etc/d_passwd).  I also made a change to /etc/profile and /etc/cshrc
to send email to root whenever there is a login on that line.

I found some of the info from the uugetty and login man pages.

d_passwd contains lines of the form:

shell:password:

The hardest part was creating the password.  Seems that there isn't
a password generating utility.  I ended up writing one to make my
life easier.  The way that SGI told me to get passwords was to set
a password for a login account and then copy the password out of
/etc/passwd and put it into the d_passwd file.  The d_passwd file
is nice so that you only request passwords for those accounts that
run specific shells like /bin/csh or /bin/sh.  For uucp users, you
can skip the dial-up password if you like.  It also allows you to
have different passwords for your uucp dial-ins vs your personal
dial-ins.
