MNP Auto-Reliable + getty: happy accident or design?

[David Herron -- One of the vertebrae]

When a pair of modems are negotiating MNP modes they're doing this
*AFTER* they've printed 'CONNECT' to their serial ports and they
do this by sending BREAKS at each other in particular ways.

I'd call it a lucky accident that it does something useful to the
getty.  Normally you'd expect the getty to get confused because of
the noise it'd see.
