Unless you are using AIX Access for DOS User's (AADU) over token ring or
ethernet, you shouldn't need to define any ttyn's [ptydev] (if anyone
has info to the contrary, let me know).

If you attaching a regular Ascii terminal or PC running a standard terminal
emulation package, then add tty's [ttydev] instead.
