So, vm.log will display nothing since this is not handled by vm.
Only ``outgoing'' calls are handled by vm (manually!). This is
a shell script, so it's launched by vgetty.

so, the Perl module works mostly.

Starting to play as ordered.

I am surprised. This is a perl error message. How is this sent to the
US Robotics modem (since this looks what is happening: this is the
*MODEM* echo).  Or it's just stderr of the perl script which is intermixed
with vgetty log.  If you are good at perl (which I am not), you
could try to fix the Vgetty.pm.

mvm redirects 2> to another log file, for example. That maybe should be
done by your perl script (but I don't know how to do it) so to make
the log clearer.

Did you hear something at all on the phone ?  It looks the play finished
but something wrong then happened with the modem. It's difficult to
know if it has something to do with the perl interface, I would think
not.
