Huh??  I've used tty01 without any problem on my 4000 (and on other
nodes like 3000's).  The only difference I have seen is that the
tty0x devices REQUIRE carrier detect to be (true/high/active) in
order for getty's open(2) to complete.  I actually needed a REAL
modem eliminator cable, and not just the cheap'n'dirty 2-3-7-20.

I'll be very surprised if your assertion (above) is true.  It is
possible that a problem might exist on a specific hardware platform.
