Could someone fill me in on what getty looks at to decide if it can use a serial line properly? I have a device driver that will let me run async data over it (ala kermit and the keyboard), and PPP data via pppd. However, getty prints the login prompt on the screen, and then apparently dies, and restarts. Init then terminates it, waits 30 seconds, and tries again. Thanks. -Brian
