From a reading of the bash man page, I think you may be
running into the difference between a login shell and an interactive
shell.
It appears as if the mechanism of logging in thru the modem
gives you an interactive shell, not a login shell.
If you do a 'man bash' and then search for "INVOCATION" you
can see the details of the difference.
