I have a DECsystem 5400 running Ultrix 4.1.  We have installed the
65+ capicity upgrade.  I created 64 pty's and tty's with /dev/MAKEDEV,
and then added them to /etc/ttys and then did a kill -HUP 1 to make
init read the changes to /etc/ttys.

For some unknown reason the system will only use the firs 32 pty's, that is
pty/tty p* and pty/ttyq* then rlogin will fail with the message:
	rlogind: Out of ptys.
and telnet fails with the message:
	telnetd: All network ports in use.

The MicroVax // running Ultrix 4.1 and the same capicity upgrade will let
me use as may pty's as I want, unfortunatly it does not have the CPU power
of the 5400.

has any body else ran into this?  any suggestions to fix it?

Thanks for the assistance.
