	Tried local and softcar, still don't get a login prompt.  That's
the thing I don't get.  Kermit will talk to the terminal or the HP200LX
just fine at 9600, but no getty.  That's where I get the idea that I don't
know what the things looking for.  AFAICT, I'd set it up exactly how the
terminal is, but I've obviously missed something...

	Modem works fine, kermit works fine, getty is the only thing I
can't make work on it.  Anyone out there with a terminal hooked up who
made it work?

	I even had a login prompt slip through when I was using kermit
once (forgot to disable the getty).  It's obviously a flow control problem
of some sort, and I'm just overlooking something really simple and stupid.
