Problems with getty on kernel 1.2.13

Dear Linux Experts,

I am having a serious problem with Linux 1.2.13, a kernel that was said to be stable
and is crashing from time to time, locking up all terminals and not answering
to the modems calls.
My system is slackware 3.0.0 with kernel 1.2.13 and getty-ps 2.07h.
Is getty-ps 2.07h stable?
my modems are connected to the computer by a comtrol rocketport with 1.09Beta
driver

Here is the dump

Luiz
