[ale] getty for ttyS1 -> file?

[Dow Hurst]

Someone talked about having logging output sent via syslog's port to a 
dotmatrix printer that was roll fed.  That way they had a hard copy 
continously produced of the syslog of another machine.  I guess you'd 
redirect the output of syslogd to lp rather than the normal file for 
logging, /var/log/messages.  I think the syslog.conf man page had an 
example of sending log messages over the network.  Maybe it was Bob 
Toxen who mentioned it to me as a log protection technique.
