This is fine but also you should tell callers that they need to use
break to get the right baudrate.   If you are getting garbage character,
you are in wrong baudrate and press break to allow getty to go to
another line of gettydefs.   Be sure to check your /etc/gettydefs on
correct baudrate.    I used ctl-END in Telix to send break and also use
F11 in DEC vt100 monitor will do this.  Just look up communication doc
or online help.

This apply to Xenix and older Unix.   New SCO Unix 3.2 and Interactive
don't need break signal at all.
