-
- This is a SYSV/SunOS4 getty program with useful features for hard-wired
- or dial-in lines.
-
- - The program adjusts the tty modes to parity bits, and to erase, kill
- and end-of-line characters found while reading a login name.
-
- - The baud rate can be established by BREAK character processing and by
- parsing the CONNECT status messages from Hayes-compatible modems.
-
- - An alternative login program can be specified instead of /bin/login.
-
- The program has been tried with System V release 2 and SunOS 4.1, but
- it should also work with System V Release 4.
-
- In the Makefile you will have to specify if diagnostics should be
- reported through the syslog daemon; the alternative is that all
- diagnostics go directly to /dev/console.
-
- The command-line interface is not quite compatible with earlier agetty
- versions.
