I was asked how would I connect 200 or so terminals to a
Multimax running the BSD'ish Unix.  Just finished reading
pty(4) and they only meantion three sets (tty[p-r]*) or
48 psuedos.  I looked at the 4.3 sources on our VAX and
it appears to me that you can config any multiple of 16
(true?).  So, question:  How many psuedos can I actually
configure (and how)?  Other comments would be appreciated.

Please send e-mail if not appropriate for whole discussion
group.

Thanks, Kurt
