I've seen several postings like this recently.  A couple years ago I struggled
with the same problems and resolved them through a little experimentation.
I wrote a simple little program called "modemon" which lets you send
"AT" commands directly to the modem to initialize it as needed before forking
a getty on the serial port.  A detailed man page and README file are also
included in the package explaining  how to use this program with either
HDB or the stock uucp on the 3B1.  It has been working on my machine for
years without any problem.  

I suspect you'll find it in the archives somewhere (judging from email I get
from time to time).  If you'd like a copy, send me mail.
