It would be nice if the SCO 5.0.4 getty WAS a standard getty.
Unfortunatly SCO tried to get too tricky, and it's caused many people
problems. And not just with HylaFAX. That's why the SCO OS5 HylaFAX binary
is compiled to use /usr/local/etc/getty.
That way you can use the older (working) 5.0.2 getty and not have
to change /etc/getty.
