Many utilities only support 2-letter names, and one of the letters is 'd' to distinguish dialin serial ports from ptys, vtys, etc. Dialin serial ports are supposed to be named ttyd[0-9a-z] so that the port number is only one letter. Only 32 ports are supported by sio, so /dev/MAKEDEV only creates ttyd[0-9a-v]. Bruce
