What kind of modem?  It may be sending DRON/DROFF codes instead of RING1, 
RING2, etc.  Check your modem manual and/or test output on serial port with 
minicom while line is ringing.

You might see something in /var/messages if you have server tracing set to 
some high value, but I recommend just checking the serial port with minicom.
