I offered to do a setup that would allow someone
to dial into an Amiga and perform a task. I thought
that getty or one of its variants would allow a
simple login. It does, but it insists on appending
"-DEVICE [...]" and a ton of stuff as command line
arguments to the command that is executed. Is there
a way to suppress this extra command line material?

The assembler getty program offers an option that
will pipe the STDIO from whatever program it
launches to the serial port. This would be great,
but I've never gotten that feature of it to work.
Not even the test provided in his passwd file.If 
I can't getty agetty to do this for me is there
another way to get the I/O hooked up to the SER:
after a login?

Email responses prefered. Thanks.
