Is there a max number of tty devices that can be defined for serial multi
port cards

I am using 1 8 port RocketPort card and 1  32 port RocketPort card

Everything works up and thru ttyR31 or cuaR31  ..

anything I try with ttyR32 or cuaR32 gets reejcted !!

It appears by looking at the code the minor number upper 3 bits are control
flags , is
 this set/cleared by FreeBSD ??

thanks for any help !!
