Sean, Thanks for the suggestion. Tried out mgetty and still ran into the same issue with the login not being accepted. Strange because both agetty and mgetty work perfect when you connect PC to PC throught that same serial port. I think that somehow or another the connection through the modem is causing the login issue. Almost acts like if you tried to login to a *nix system but the account was set up with a false shell.
