For basic trouble shooting check the following:
Is the tr. or dtr light ON. If not login as root and type enable tty1A then type disable tty1a. Check the tr or dtr light. If it is lit dial the phone and see if the modem answers, if it answers setup your terminal software or for testing ONLY use Win 95/98 hyper terminal click on start -> programs -> accessories -> hyper terminal ->hypertrm. Give your new connect a name (ok).Then type in the phone number and select the modem that is installed in your PC, then see if you get a login..
If so your are Done!

If you get trash or nothing, you will need to check the serial speed of the com port and the speed on the modem.
Login as root and at the # type ckermit and press enter.
type disable tty1A
At the ckermit > type set line /dev/tty1a press enter   
At the ckermit > type c enter
Type the following commands to your modem:
at&f0                 enter       < set modem to factory default
at$sb38400       enter       < set serial speed to 38400 you have to go lower remember this number!
ats0=1              enter        < answer on first ring
at&w0              enter        <save setups
Press ctrl and \ at the same time then press c , if this does not exit you to the ckermit > try it again!
Now  we can check some files. Login in as root and type pg /etc/inittab you will see the following:

Se2A:23:off:/etc/getty -t60 tty2A o                                            o = 38400
Se2a:23:off:/etc/getty tty2a o
If it is set to o (38400) type type q enter. Type disable tty1A and then type enable tty1A. Retest it for login.
If it is not set to a o . Now we will have to edit the file, type vi /etc/inittab use your arrow key and find the line with your tty port, Put your cursor under the letter at the end of the line(refer above) and type
r o then press Esc two times. r means replace character and o is the serial speed. If it looks right type Shift ZZ , that will save and exit the editor. If it does not look right press Esc two times then type Shift Q then at the :     type q! enter. Then try it again.

Now disable tty1A and enable tty1A .Retest it for login.
