-
- This is a SYSV/SunOS4 getty program with useful features for hardwired
- and dial-in tty lines.
-
- - The program adapts the tty modes to parity bits and to erase, kill
- end-of-line and upper-case characters when it reads a login name.
-
- - The baud rate can be established by BREAK character processing and by
- parsing the CONNECT status messages from Hayes-compatible modems.
-
- Other features: RTS/CTS flow control (SunOS4, suggested by John Harkin,
- <jh@moon.nbn.com>), alternate login program, does not use /etc/gettytab
- or /etc/gettydefs.
-
- The program works without modification under System V release 2 and
- SunOS 4.1/4.1.1. It probably also works with later System V releases.
-
- In the Makefile you will have to specify whether diagnostics should be
- reported through the syslog daemon; the alternative is that all error
- reports go directly to /dev/console.
-
- The command-line interface was cleaned up a bit; it is slightly
- incompatible with earlier getty versions.
