Unfortunately there are probably no two UNIX systems that are
exactly alike.  The getty with SCO UNIX 3.2 is not the same getty
as on other machines.  In fact one can get getty source code
from several places.  

In short, SCO UNIX 3.2's getty does not support the "-i" option
that some getty programs support.  At least according to SCO's
manual.
