- AGetty is similar to the well-known Getty included in Matt Dillon's
- AmigaUUCP package. It hangs on the specified serial port waiting for
- connections via the connected modem. Once a connection is detected, AGetty
- provides a Login: request to the caller. Getty disconnects any caller who
- cannot provide a legal login and Password within 60 seconds. It also
- allows only 3 login attempts before disconnecting. Any attempt to login
- with an illegal password will be written to the logfile. Upon receiving a
- legal Login and Password, verified via the passw-file, AGetty will execute
- a specified program, usually UUCICO or PMail, and stay off the line until
- the program returns. Then, AGetty will disconnect the caller and reset the
- modem, returning to its original state.
