I had tried -Lnever and it just causes a message in /var/log/auth.log

Dec  7 05:02:17 bit agetty[1555324]: invalid argument of --local-line

and agetty does not exec /bin/login in this case but only logs the
error message, waits for 10s, and then exits.  Since agetty does not
wait for the modems carrier detect or for the "RING" message from the
modem I don't see how it can be used on dial-in lines.
