Thanks for the information. The manual is decidedly lacking in this area. I have
just printed out getty.c and was about to study it to check what the format of
/etc/gettydefs is under minix compared with System V.x, when I saw this message.

I'll continue to study getty.c, but why not ask the "net" as well ... Does 
anybody have a working /etc/gettydefs? Preferably for MacMinix on a MacPlus
running a Racal-Vadic VI2422S, but not necessarily for that combination. What
problems did you encounter? /etc/gettydefs can be a pain on any unix!
