man MAKEDEV says:
tty# standard PC COM ports
The i386 supports the following devices. Where a device name is followed
by a hash sign (``#''), the hash sign must be replaced by a unit number.
so i did MAKEDEV tty1 thru tty9. This took it from 49 up to 67 tty's.
Is there a way to increase this, or is this the maximum number of connections (i
don't think that it would be the max number).
thanks,
dave
