I'll let someone else handle this one.  It may involve writing a perl
script.

This can be done with an entry in /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config.  Note that my
modem wants an at&v1 to do the same job.

Here is an extract from mine:-
# LightSpeed 33k
#
port ttyS0
  debug 2
  modem-type data
  speed 57600
  rings 2
  init-chat "" atz OK at&d2L2 OK
  toggle-dtr y
  login-time 60
