I do believe that using the Computone cluster controller up to
64 ports can be used under SCO 2.3.2 using ttyi00-ttyi63 - plus
since each port can actually be running TWO applications - (using
a pre-defined control sequence) that makes for 128 processes running
from the serial lines plus another 12 on the console.
