Uh... Why would it? There is no difference between a modem and a terminal here. They both come in to the machine over a serial line, and then VMS expects you to log in.
Yes, the modem should be set up correctly, and then it's just a piece of equipment in the communication path, which is totally transparent.
The wiggling of the DCD is how a modem (or terminal) tell the computer that it is connected.
Would you expect VMS to spew out hayes commands when you connect a terminal?
No, this is why I advice to set the modem up with sane defaults before hooking it up :)
But some UNIX getty's DO speak Hayes AT so it's not that far-fetched an idea..
