I think that Chris is wrong about AT&T UNIX, but I hope he isn't. I have
the gettydefs for virtual terminals but I can't get a getty to run on
them. I am able to use them under VP/ix out of DOS, but that's only after
getting DOS going.
Is Chris correct? Is there some way to get virtual terminals going on the
console in AT&T 386 UNIX? If so, please post or email, that's about my
only real beef with the product.
