Actually...  :-)  I made another wonderful discovery that helps immensely.
I was thinking last nite and decided when it happened again I would try
setting all the ttyd* devices to "off" for a second and then back on, this
morning I had a chance to test and it cleared the situation.  You're too
late by a day  ;-)

Next step: will try playing with individual ports to see if I can find out
who's making trouble for me.

Thanks for the information, though.  It helps in understanding what may or
may not be going on.  I'll keep everybody posted.

... Joe
