I am running ULTRIX 4.0.  I have been successfully SLIPping for
a few months now, but I wanted to try something new.  Since the
DECstation 3100 cannot function at 19,200 baud, I decided to use
tcpcon and tcpserv in order to connect my modem to an IRIS and
pipe the output to a PTY on the decstation.  Everything works fine,
and I can "tip" to the modem and login places, etc.  However,
when I attempt to run slattach, it tries to attach to "sl7" instead
of "sl0", and, of course, that is not configured into the kernel.

Any idea why the TIOCGETD is returning 7 instead of 0 in the case
of a PTY as opposed to a TTY?
