The trick is in /etc/{inittab,gettydefs}. find the line that controls your
tty in inittab and check the last par for getty. Look for a line in
gettydefs with the same label in the first field. Insert a 'CLOCAL' between
the first and second '#' on that line. (That field defines the STTY state
BEFORE you login.
You might also want to insert a '-CLOCAL' between the second and third '#'
(this sets the mode AFTER the 'login' message ) so that the machines can tell
when one of them hangs up.
