They're right about tty_pty.c, but if it's a BBS, I suppose that people
dialin to you, so telnetd has nothing to do with it.  If I'm wrong, please
tell me.  There are many ways to interpret "BBS".

Did you try using vi? ;-)

Hack the kernel.  Sorry, I'm a little sarcastic today.

If you have system sorces installed, edit /usr/src/sys/kern/tty_pty.c at
line 98.  It says:
	#define MAXUNITS (8 * 32)

Try changing the 8 to 9, or whatever, and recompile your kernel.

I highly suggest you use a test platform if you plan to do this.  There is
a chance it will screw everything up (.1%), and a chance it won't help.

Also, make sure you have enough /dev entries.

DISCLAIMER: I do not guarantee anything.  AS said above, it could screw
everything.  Don't blame me.  I've warned you.
