The flag `exta' is an abbreviation for "External A", and the spelling
"exta" is correct. Note also, if getty is to be used at 19200 on a
port (assuming the /etc/getty supplied with the system) the baudrate
used in a gettydefs entry is "EXTA", instead of "B19200", the latter
giving an "Undefined: B19200" error. This is in spite of the fact
that the distributed gettydefs has an entry for 19200 using the B19200
flag. As always, copy gettydefs to a work copy, edit on that, and do
a `getty -c' on that copy before making it the real file, to avoid
problems.
I hope this clears up some confusion...
