I don't have the answer to the specific concern (accessing ttys for
dialing out), but i can give you a hint - the /dev directory in Eunice
is emulated, and it is not anomolous that you're unable to 'cd' to it.
At least in Eunice 4.3 (you didn't mention which version you're
running), some of the entries are designated according to a
combination of logical assignments in the DCL environment and data in
a file, /etc/eunice/dev.com .  Info about configuring the ghost /dev
is in section 4.5 of the Eunice 4.3 Administrators manual.  I also
seem to recall some specific discussion about dealing with the
entries (and "directory"), but don't recall where...
