I am currently writing a device driver for the Unitext teletext card
(see http://www.pelican.com.au/ ).  When finished, the driver will be 
freely available.

The driver (currently called "ttxt") uses one (character) device,
with minor device numbers selecting between (up to 4) installed cards.

Can I have a major device number allocated, please.
