I'm having similar problems using a 1200 baud external (Rixon Executive
212 Autodialer) modem.  My problem was that everyone logging in was
confronted with 'PASSWORD:' - getty had read the CONNECT and started the
login process with an all upper case login name.  The solution was the
same, turn off the modem echoing, but then dialout didn't work.  (It
expects 'OK' and 'CARRIER' and such.)  Does anyone have a modemcap entry
for a hayes modem that doesn't report status codes?
