I'm going to maintain the cygwin ports of init and agetty packages. You can get the source code and binary packages at http://users.rcn.com/sokhapkin/release/. agetty allows to login into Windows NT box via a serial cable connected to a com port.
category: System requires: cygwin cygrunsrv sdesc: "A System-V Init Clone" ldesc: "Init is the parent of all processes. Its primary role is to create processes from a script stored in the file /etc/inittab (see inittab(5)). This file usually has entries which cause init to spawn gettys on each line that users can log in. It also controls autonomous processes required by any particular system." category: System requires: cygwin sdesc: "An improved getty program" ldesc: "Traditionally, getty is the program that listens on terminal and modem ports and that prompts for a login name. Agetty is an alternative for the System V or SunOS 4 environments that sports some useful features." Sergey Okhapkin Somerset, NJ
