getty/uugetty -- what is the difference, really?

[Kent Karrer]

Recently, I have seen an increase of discussion concerning getty and uugetty.
I have used both on different kinds of unices. But, being what I consider a
unix novice, I have yet to figure out the differences between these two
programs.

Will someone please enlighten me?
