It was part of the example, it should work as you only need to kill 
vgetty but control-group would work too, removed the KillMode option.

Right, but then how many do you include.  So I took at look at the getty 
on and it has "BindTo=dev-%i.device" where does %i come from.  Can I use 
this in a vgetty.service implementation so I don't have to specify the 
device?

--snip vgetty.service--
# This is a basic .service file used with systemd to control vgetty.

# Vgetty turns your voice modem into an answering machine.
# It is apart of the mgetty package. http://alpha.greenie.net/vgetty/
