Make sure your modem sends it in the CONNECT string (or in form of the
"CARRIER" string before CONNECT).  Then mgetty will log it, at least in
the mgetty log file and to syslog:

Jul 16 05:42:17 greenie mgetty.test[16056]: data dev=tty5d, pid=16056, caller='89557943', conn='115200/X.75 64000/LAPB', name='', cmd='/usr/lib/uucp/uucico', user='Ueisa'

This format is the ZyXEL response:

  CONNECT <dte speed>/<protocol> <line speed>/<error control>

here:
  CONNECT  115200   / X.75        64000     / LAPB

Other modems will report something like "CONNECT 28800/REL", in which case
the log file will contain "conn='28800/REL'".

... which is why it's there, since about 2-3 years now :-)

Code changes, how disgusting :-)
