Well, since the mgetty documentation doesn't say one way or the other, I 
tried changing the modem settings to send unformatted data.

The good news is mgetty properly collects the entire unformatted caller 
id string data properly. :-)
The bad news is mgetty does not pass it to cnd-program properly. :-(

I updated the bugzilla report accordingly. --> 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=232522
The good news it looks like an easy fix... :-)
The bad news is I do not have time right now to work on it.. let alone 
find the source code. :-(
