Bullshit.

Read up on the "port" statement - you can have different configurations
for different lines with just one mgetty.config file.  (Not *all* of the
stuff is configurable on a per-port basis, but all that you can do in
mgetty.config can you do per port).

(Don't tell me about "multiple phone lines with different
configurations"... Greenie has 5 different modem types, some of them
connected directly to the PSTN, some to an ISDN PABX, some with caller ID
and some without, some with cnd-program, some without, and all is run from
one single mgetty.config).
