Change the "respawn" entry for ph0 in /etc/inittab to "off".  This
will disable the getty on the modem, regardless of what the phone
manager/UA set it to.  (They normally enable/disable the port by
putting a space or a colon in the first character of the line.)

Dialling out and voice use will still work fine.
