Steve,
Basically what I did was to copy the old 2.2 ungetty into /usr/lib/uucp as
ungetty.old and modified my getty code to call /usr/lib/uucp/ungetty.old.
I found that I could not use the 2.3.1 ungetty because of incompatibility
<even though the manual says it is compatible!>. In my inittab entry for
the port(s), I just told it to use my auto-baud sensing getty, as usual.
Once this was all accomplished, I was back up as usual......
