Okay, I know that I shouldn't be asking this one, because it's soooooo
simple, but it's go me stumped.

Can I tell getty to run something other that login on certain terminals?

You see, our unix box has 8 modems on it, and our unix box is on our own
little internet.  I'd like to be able to set them up so that when people
call into our box, they can either login to my machine, or be able to
specify another machine that they can log into.  I wrote this nifty program
in C that has on-line help and all the neato whistles, and I'd like for it
to be run on the terminals that are connected to modems.

Any guru's out there that could be of any help would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
