Actually, the problem is likely to be that the modem is in echo mode
and produces status messages.  It receives "Banner message\nlogin:" from 
the 3b2 and responds with "ERROR\n" to which the computer responds with
"ERROR\nPassword:" and the modem responds with "ERROR\n...." and so forth.

I set my modems to no echo and no status information in order to get 
bidirectional capabilities.
