I ran into this same problem with EPORTS some time ago Robb, from what I
can remember when the getty 'respawns', your nice hardware handshaking
is overwritten.  I remember scratching my head over this for some time.
I think I was able to get the "epstty hfc" into the inittab file, but
really don't remember.  It will be interesting to see if anyone else
comes up with an answer to this question.

I saw the source for some type of "getty" posted not too long ago.
Maybe that would be the place to attack the problem..
