I'm trying to respawn an agetty in inittab so I can use Cygwin from a serial
terminal.  Nothing happens.  When I execute the agetty manually I do get a
login prompt at the remote terminal so I know my serial port and connection
are good.  Is there a trick to get cygwin to read and execute lines from
inittab?  I'm running Cygwin 1.71 on Win XP Pro with SP3 if that matters. 
I'm a total noob with Linux/Cygwin so please make your explanation simple
(step-by-step if possible)!  TIA
