I've got hold of mgetty and it really is trivial to use (hint: use make
noident). It works virtually straight out of the box as a straight dialin
getty, though a few things in the header file need altering such as where
to find login (/usr/bin/login rather than /bin/login). To add ppp 
capability is even easier.
