The script autoans.sh get called without the space after -e.  That's not a
problem.

I did look at the man info and all the file that came with agetty. There is
very little about getting it to work with a modem.  They don't have
information about setting the modem to auto answer.  The script I listed in
the inittab file (autoans.sh) was my script.  I could not get it to set the
modem to auto answer.
