 AT> I have a macOS host machine , where I start a docker machine with
 AT> Mystic BBS

 AT> In the macOS host machine, I have a modem

 AT> Is there a way to make Mystic BBS open a modem session, answering to
 AT> phone ?

 AT> I have found a script that uses agetty and opens a telnet session when
 AT> modem connects, but there's no agetty in macOS (only getty, agetty
 AT> should be an extension of getty)

 AT> I have tried this command line:

 AT> /usr/libexec/getty -m -a root --wait-cr --init-string
 AT> 'ATE0Q1&D2&C1S0=1 15' --login-program /usr/bin/telnet --login-options
 AT> 'localhost 14025' tty.usbmodem123456781 115200

 AT> but does not work

 AT> (modem does not answer at all, so i suppose that init string was not
 AT> sent)

I run linux & raspberry os but this is where I would start

do you have a null modem cable available?? or modem on another pc??
can you launch a modem program on each machine and on the mystic machine, type ATS0=1 (answer after 1 ring) then on the other ATO (if memory serves)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayes_command_set
that will tell you the modems can communicate :-)

I am using a null-modem cable to communicate with an "OLD" 150mkz fujitsu laptop

my getty line looks like this - but getty should also work
sudo agetty -i -L -h -t 60 ttyS0 9600 vt102 --host fujitsu

what this does, is -t timeout if no connection in 60 seconds --host is fake host name for things like who etc. -l no issue (no system messages at startup) -L local-line mode always - turns off carrier detect (in my case)

this gives me a login prompt on the laptop and from there I telnet out.
