Runiing processes. What are these?

[Christian Dysthe <cdysthe@bigfoot.com>]

Hi,

I was looking at running processes. Found these: 

  199   2 S    0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty2 
  200   3 S    0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty3 
  201   4 S    0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty4 
  202   5 S    0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty5 
  203   6 S    0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty6

Why are all these running, and do they all have to run?
I use Xisp to connect to my ISP.
