After 4.3, OpenBSD stopped using pccom to use the common "com"

That wasn't progress. Capabilites where lost.
I had a perfectly working dialin-dialout setup with getty for a
decade that is now not working anymore (It somewhat work if I reserve
the line/modem for dial-in only. And make sure getty is killed before
doing dial-out)
I have also 2 internal modem (ISA/PCI) that gets detected as having
no fifo (they do have them, they just didn't implement the similated
loopback mode openbsd use to test them). That require the machine
to do 3500+ interupt/second instead of the more reasonable 600
interupt/second. In 4.3, I can force it to use the fifo, but in 4.8
the same hack cause data integrity issue.

Not that I know how to resolve your issue with mgetty, but I would
try on 4.3 first. I mostly gave up on >4.3 and the com driver.
(mgetty -m is a chat script, like -m '"" ATM0L0 OK'. mgetty has a
debug log, that can help too.)
