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

glutButtonBoxFunc(3GLUT)					       GLUT						  glutButtonBoxFunc(3GLUT)

NAME
glutButtonBoxFunc - sets the dial & button box button callback for the current window. SYNTAX
void glutButtonBoxFunc(void (*func)(int button, int state)); ARGUMENTS
func The new button box callback function. DESCRIPTION
glutButtonBoxFunc sets the dial & button box button callback for the current window. The dial & button box button callback for a window is called when the window has dial & button box input focus (normally, when the mouse is in the window) and the user generates dial & button box button presses. The button parameter will be the button number (starting at one). The number of available dial & button box buttons can be determined with glutDeviceGet(GLUT_NUM_BUTTON_BOX_BUTTONS). The state is either GLUT_UP or GLUT_DOWN indicating whether the callback was due to a release or press respectively. Registering a dial & button box button callback when a dial & button box device is not available is ineffectual and not an error. In this case, no dial & button box button callbacks will be generated. Passing NULL to glutButtonBoxFunc disables the generation of dial & button box button callbacks. When a new window is created, no dial & button box button callback is initially registered. SEE ALSO
