HELP: Dial in/out on DEC 4000 Model 600 running OSF/1 Ver 3.2

I am trying to establish a dial in/out connection on this machine.
These are the problems I am facing:
        - when I dial in, the connection is established but I don't
          get a login prompt. When I hit <CR> a couple of times,
          it prints out a message "Login incorrect" and issues a
          login prompt. It now goes into a state where anything
          I type is not echoed back. So if I type in blindly my
          login name and password, it allows me to login but does
          not echo whatever I type.

        - when I logout, the line doesn't drop, I keep getting
          the login prompt. ^D, hanging up the modem from my
          local machine (used for dialing) doesn't help. I have
          to reset the modem at the remote machine.

Here are my inittab and gettydefs files,

/etc/inittab
------------
dialin:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/ttyd0 dialin vt100

/etc/gettydefs
dialin# B9600 HUPCL CS8 # B9600 HUPCL CS8 # logindial: #dialin

I am using a Telebit T1600 modem which can go upto speeds of 9600 baud.

My ultimate goal is to be able to dial in and out of this machine. I
tried using /usr/lib/uucp/uugetty with the following setting in my
/etc/inittab file (instead of the getty line)

dialin:23:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r /dev/ttyd0 dialin vt100

It doesn't even connect.

I'd appreciate any help in resolving this problem.

Thanks
