Does anyone know how to make getty  NOT display  /etc/issue for an 
individual line?
I'm connecting to a system that has ALL KINDSA graphics in issue,
and over a low speed connection, I've seen it
take up to a minute to  paint the screen.
My particular uucp givews up long before that.

We are running UNIX SYSV  V.2 and V.3 on a UNISYS 5000/80 (both ends)
We do not have source code.

Please email
