Things are improving a litle bit. I've put a 5 second timeout in the
gettytab entry which seems to have improved things. I think the getty
is zapping out the initial login prompt too quick for the connecting PC.
I came to this conclusion because using win3.11 terminal I get the login
prompt every time but using the winsock dialer we get handshaking
errors.
I couldn't determine from the gettytab man page what would cause a delay
before the initial login prompt is written to the terminal. It would be
cool to have an /etc/conf.getty file which lets you set up things like
init strings and delays etc. (i.e. as per linux getty).
