This is a SYSV/SunOS4 getty program with useful features for hardwired
6
- The program adapts the tty modes to parity bits and to erase, kill
7
end-of-line and upper-case characters when it reads a login name.
9
- The baud rate can be established by BREAK character processing and by
10
parsing the CONNECT status messages from Hayes-compatible modems.
12
Other features: RTS/CTS flow control (SunOS4, suggested by John Harkin,
13
<jh@moon.nbn.com>), alternate login program, does not use /etc/gettytab
16
The program works without modification under System V release 2 and
17
SunOS 4.1/4.1.1. It probably also works with later System V releases.
19
In the Makefile you will have to specify whether diagnostics should be
20
reported through the syslog daemon; the alternative is that all error
21
reports go directly to /dev/console.
23
The command-line interface was cleaned up a bit; it is slightly
24
incompatible with earlier agetty versions.
