GETTY_PS 2.0.6
--------------

This is the new version of getty_ps for Linux kernels 0.99.5 and higher.
The code has been changed to allow cooperation with the new callout devices
that come with 0.99.5.  As a result, some of the configuration has also 
changed (mainly, the WAITFOR option is no longer useful... the modem must
be set up to autoanswer)


FEATURES:
  New Features:
	o  Getty can be scheduled to be active only during specified time
	   intervals, and inactive the rest of the time.
	o  Getty no longer assumes control of the serial line, so that
	   other devices can use it.
	o  Default terminal type can be specified on the command line
  Standard Features:
        o  Getty performs modem initialization at startup, so that your
	   modem is configured correctly for incoming calls.
	o  Highly configurable interface to allow for different modem
	   speeds and configurations.
	o  Uugetty reinitializes the modem if another program uses the
	   line.

I have uploaded a complete set of sources and sample configuration files to
sunsite.unc.edu and tsx-11.mit.edu.  Binaries linked with libc.so.4.3.2 are
also included with the package.

The relevant file is getty_ps2.0.6.tar.z.  It is currently in the Incoming
directories at both sites.  Please use gzip to decompress this file.
