SCO 5 and Getty
Our medical practice has inherited an SCO 5 box with a practice management program, medical manager, installed on the box that we need to access on our Windows network. Boots fine and I can login with root no problem. Problem is, I can't get it to do anything because of these getty error messages. From what I can see, getty manages terminals, serial ones I guess. There are no serial devices connected to the server. I tried to comment out the references to getty in the inittab file but the error messages kept displaying while trying to edit the file using vi. I have 2 questions, (1) is there a way to kill the getty process all together so I can edit the file? and (2) do you know of any good programs that will serve terminal connections over TCP/IP?

Thanks,

Don
