This article is from the 3b1 computers FAQ, by John B. Bunch with numerous contributions by others.

4.11. How do I get my on-board modem to be a dial-out-only modem?

The easiest way to do this is to edit (with your favorite editor) the /etc/inittab file. Change the line:

	 ph0:2:respawn:/etc/getty ph0 1200

to:

	 ph0:2:off:/etc/getty ph0 1200

NOTE: There is a space character in front of the first "ph0" in the lines above. ph0 may be ph1 if you are using line 2 for the on-board modem.
