While this is a matter of personal preference, I wouldn't replace the getty.
If you're resistant to using the uupoll I posted, you can simply alter Apple's
uudemon a bit. Use the code in uupoll to switch the line before uucico'ing,
and switch it back later.

As for why I prefer not messing with getty- the side effects are greater,
that's all.
