^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Well, it SHOULD NOT expect your IPS's phone no, but it should expect a
CONNECT answer from the modem. Check your dialing string beginning with
ATDT, it should not contain any spaces. It must be one word together with
the phone no, so something like:
ATDT01234
If it doesn't help, just let me know.

Hmmm - you do not need mgetty, do you? Mgetty is used only if someone else
would like to connect _your_ machine through a modem from outside. Unless
your are making a dial-in Linux box, you do not need it.

Mgetty is started from init. Check your /etc/inittab.
All the very best,
