Looks like there is a misconfigured getty running on your modem port (there
should be none at all).  Run 

	ps ax | grep getty

and post the result.  If there is a getty process running on your modem
port kill it and try again.  *Don't* kill any gettys that are not on ports
with numbers like ttyS2, ttyS3, etc.

This begins to look like an intallation bug.  Please post your
/etc/inittab.
