	I need information on how to use the streams based pseudo-ttys
distributed with Interactive 386/ix 2.0. There is a single clone major
(/dev/ptmx), and 16 slaves (/dev/pts???). The major can be opened, but
I can never open the slaves, even with the master being held open. It
would seem only sensible due to the clone nature of the master, that
I need to perform some operation to discover which slave to open. The
header file defines two ioctl flags, but doesn't elaborate. Interactive
refused to answer my questions, well they didn't exactly refuse, they just
never rang back.
