Default Logins and serial transfers on same wire

Hi,

I know I've got this working before, just can't remember how. Hopefully one of
you can jog my memory.

We have a Unix system (OS507) connected to a PC via their serial ports ie. COM1
to /dev/tty1a. We communicate using Kermit to send and receive files over that
3-wire cable.

Now we want to use the same cable to login to unix - I need to setup the serial
port to run a getty, but somehow disable the getty when it's time to run
communcations.

Any ideas?

many thanks
