I have the same problem running under Unisoft 5.0. The only (apparent) fix
is to do the exec to getty from the parent process instead of the child
process. Unfortunately this prevents the idle timer from functioning to
kill the login if it is idle. (Can't wait on your parent.)

I can post or mail a modified version that works on systems like this. 

The end result is quite nice. I now have two incoming lines, both of which
can be used for outgoing traffic if needed, as compared to one in and one
out.

If I have time this week I will modify utamo to work with sysv as well.
