Thanks for the info!

I would guess at something like (for entering "bbs" username at the mgetty login prompt, executing Mystic as "bbs" user, and logging it as user "bbs" as well):

bbs bbs bbs /home/bbs/mystic -ST3 -IP127.0.0.1 -HOSTlocalhost 

...although untested here too. :)

Actually it is possible to test things like this by simulating being a modem -- one can use socat to create a fake modem device in one window:

socat STDIO,icanon=0,min=1,time=0 PTY,link=/dev/fakemodem,rawer,hupcl,crtscts

...and then run mgetty like:
