Replacing the banner message, too long?

I have a question about the 'im' (Initial Message) entry the /etc/gettytab
file. We recently tried to change the message to include information such as
the name of the machine, how to log on, etc, and ran into a very interesting
problem. The message itself would cover most of the screen, but getty only
displays the first 4 lines and says "Gettytab entry too long". I understand
what "too long" is ( :-) ), but how long is too long, and is there any way
around it.
If it requires replacing 'getty', then so be it. Please give me a pointer to
the source for a replacement getty.
Thanks in advance!
