Traditionally, getty is the program that listens on terminal and modem
ports and that prompts for a login name.  Agetty is an alternative for
the System V or SunOS 4 environments that sports some useful features:

- While the user enters the login name, the program adjusts to parity
bits, and to line editing, end-of-line or upper-case only characters.

- The baud rate can be established by BREAK character processing and by
parsing the CONNECT status messages from Hayes-compatible modems.

Other features: RTS/CTS flow control, alternate login program. Last
but not least, the program does not use any configuration files.

The program runs without modification on System V.2, SunOS 4.1.3, and
SunOS 5.2 (a descendant from System V.4). There is a good chance that
it runs on System V.3 as well.

In the Makefile you will have to specify whether diagnostics should be
reported through the syslog daemon; the alternative is that all error
reports go directly to /dev/console.
