init fails, WHY?

Dear experts,

in order to set up a dial-in modem on a Sun IPC (Port A) we are using the 
'mgetty' program from the 'mgetty+sendfax' package.

We have installed SunOS 4.1.3 plus the 'tty jumbo' Patch on the Sun and 
our /etc/ttytab file looks like this:


# @(#)ttytab 1.7 92/06/23 SMI
#
# name  getty                           type            status  comments
#
console "/usr/etc/getty cons8"          sun             on local secure
ttya    "/usr/etc/mgetty -x 3 -s 38400 ttya"    vt100   on remote
ttyb    "/usr/etc/getty std.9600"       unknown         off local secure
tty00   "/usr/etc/getty std.9600"       unknown         off local secure
tty01   "/usr/etc/getty std.9600"       unknown         off local secure
                                  .
                                  .
                                  .

Unfortunately we are registering regulary on the console the message:

hostname init: '/usr/etc/mgetty -x 3 -s 38400 ttya ttya' failing, sleeping


Is there any way to avoid, clear these messages?

Many thanks in advance

- Rainer
