You configure the port as a direct-connect port, not a modem-connected
port.  It should then ignore CD (if it doesn't, how do you connect
terminals directly to the 3b2?).

The revised getty program then runs immediately -- not just when the
carrier is detected.  This getty sits on the line, watching for
characters coming in from the modem as well as looking for lock files.
