Make sure the tty is labelled a "dialup" in
/etc/ttytype.  When getty starts on a line with a tty
of type "dialup", it examines the Devices file to find
the dialer: if the dialer is a program, it runs it with
the -h switch before starting getty; if it is a Dialers
entry, say "hayes24", it runs the Dialers script,
prepending "&", which would be "&hayes24" in this
example.
