Serial connectivity on the Alpha 2100

I am in the process of setting up a terminal on one serial port and a
modem (UUCP) on the other on an Alpha 2100 running DEC OSF/1 ver 3.0.

I added the following lines to the /etc/inittab file and restarted init
(init q).

     cons1:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/tty00 9600 vt100
     u2:23:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t 30 ttyd1 Any #UUCP

Nothing works, the system just won't spawn a getty. What is strange, I
have an Alpha 400 with the identical configuration and it works fine.
There is one difference, I have a SVGA monitor (console) on the 2100
(this should not make a difference YES???!!)

I am using OSF/1 ver 3.0 on both servers.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing. Any assistance will be
appreciated.

Thank You
