We have an internal modem on port ttyS4 and can successfully dial out and log onto other systems with it.  However, when other systems try to dial in, the modem answers and sends the remote system a login prompt.  However, when the remote system enters a valid account name and proper password, our system responds that it is invalid.  Local network users can successfully login with the same account name and password.
 
At first, the modem would not even answer.  After we inserted the following line in /etc/inittab, at least it started answering:
 
    7:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS4
 
What have we overlooked??????
 
Thanks,
bdavis
