Some getty's flush (or otherwise mangle) data in the input buffer right
after printing "login:", a pause after the receipt of the "login:" does
wonders to ensure that the text you're sending isn't victimized in this
manner.
I know it sounds silly. But remember that another character (' ') is
printed after the ":", which most people don't wait for, and a fast modem
and box on the other end can easily turn around and start pumping out the
login name during this time (and the flush is not instantaneous, either).
