What type of modem?  I found that with our bank of USR's that this 
resulted from mgetty talking too fast while the modem responds too slow 
in the initialization dialogue.  The fix was to add a couple of extra 
delays before each 'send' part of the initialization dialogue in order to 
give the USR time to respond properly to the previous command.
