Re: flexfax: faxgetty: "not a valid tty"

Hi Barry,

I am not an expect on SCO - its been a long time :-)

However I seem to remember the command "enable" is a bit of a hack. It
is probably digging around in inittab looking for a standard getty
entry. Not finding it, it comes up with this message. Your best bet is
to edit /etc/inittab directly - change the "off" to "respawn" and then
run "telinit -q" to get init to re-read it.
