As far as I know, all you need to do is add a getty entry for your modem
device.  This is what I used to use:

s0:2345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -n 1 -x 3 -s 38400 tty

I don't know which getty Slack comes with, but the one that comes with
RH (mingetty) I believe is not able to do this, that's why I used mgetty
above.

It should be illegal to yell "Y2K" in a crowded economy.
