Well, in libvoice/init.c the modem is initialized to:

  voice_tio.c_cc[VMIN] = 0;
  voice_tio.c_cc[VTIME] = 0;

Apart from that, the original mgetty settings should be restored by
vgetty before switching back to mgetty code... but I have to look
closer into this, to be sure, that I didn't miss something.

No, I'm nearly sure, this isn't the case.
