I'm going to try and adapt callback-0.9 to spawn mgetty instead of login,
but in doing so I'd like to have a little help:

may you please tell me which arguments is callback called with from
mgetty? I think that if callback could spawn the program with the same
arguments which do work for faxgetty, all should go well.

Thank you for any help.

Yours,
