Cygwin Not Reading inittab?

- Subject: Cygwin Not Reading inittab?
I'm trying to respawn an agetty in inittab so I can use Cygwin from a serial
terminal. Nothing happens. When I execute the agetty manually I do get a
login prompt at the remote terminal so I know my serial port and connection
are good. Is there a trick to get cygwin to read and execute lines from
inittab? I'm running Cygwin 1.71 on Win XP Pro with SP3 if that matters.
I'm a total noob with Linux/Cygwin so please make your explanation simple
(step-by-step if possible)! TIA
