	Since what you want is only a few lines you can use the im= definition
in /etc/gettytab, man gettytab for the info on how to do that. If you'd
like to make an /etc/issue file like in linux, upgrade to -Stable as of
May 3 or later and you will find support for that.

	Yes, that sounds like something linux would do. :)  This would probably
require hacking telnetd, if you come up with something that does what
you want make sure to send us the patch. :)

Good luck,
