You can do a lot of useful things with init and getty, but you really must be more specific. sliplogin? pppd? On the face of it, you might even be trying to connect incoming telnet sessions from the network to some obscure hardware that has no ethernet of its own and therefore needs to be connected via serial port. Run a login script to connect to the serial port, in that case. -- Adam David <adam@veda.is>
