- One ttymon process can monitor all your terminals and modems instead of
- having an individual getty for each. In my book, that's a win.
-
- This works fine for me on Dell 2.1. I make no claims about other
- versions/vendors.
-
- And you dont have to keep editing /etc/inittab (and /etc/conf/cf.d/init.base
- and maybe /etc/conf/init.d/*) to start and stop ports.
-
- If you run on *reliable* ports (such as current Stallion drivers), it works!
