Just a few questions on the unix-pc:

1)  Does anybody have inittab entries for init level 1. Single user
    mode. I don't relly care if the windowing system is running or not.
 
2) If phtoggle doen't work to start and stop a getty (unix 3.5 sigh)
   on a phone line, is there another way of doing it that will update
   the status line so that people can see that they are not going to 
   be getting any calls?

3) I have created /etc/issue and am tyring to get the text in that
   file to show up on the screen with the getty prompt.
   Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to work. Has AT&T hacked
   the upc's getty so that it doesn't read /etc/issue (would be wierd
   since its documented to work).  I remember a question like this
   that was posted but I never saw a reply.
