I'm runnin Ultrix 1.2A on a MicroVAX II, and I have the 16-user version.
There is an Emulex controller pretending to be 16 lines of DHV, which seems
to show up when the system is booted (dh0 and dh1).  I am having lots of
trouble using the second group of 8 lines.

When the system was set up, /dev contained tty00 - tty07 plus ttyh0 - ttyh7.
It appeared that I wanted ttyh* entries, so I created 8 more with the same
major device number and minor numbers from 8 to 15.  This may have been
the mistake.

When I try to output to these new entries, such as cat >/dev/ttyh8, the
system immediately crashes, complaining that it overflowed the timeout
table.

What is the correct way to set this up?
