I have the problem solved!  I figured out that the connection was dropping
when /etc/getty handed off the login to /bin/login, so I decided that the
problem could be with /bin/login.  An 'exec login' killed the currect
process, so I restored /bin/login from the CD-ROM.  Everything seems to be
working great now.
