You can set the limit of ptys in UMAX 4.2 by changing /Umax.param using
/etc/sysparam.  You can go up to 1024 ptys.  Then you make devices in /dev.

Now, if you need Annex >slave< ttys, then you can only create 100 of them
using mkrnod (there is a limit built in).  There is a way to take get around
that limit if you really need to (if we add any more Annex boxes we will
have to).
