Err, umm, unless HP-UX is a REALLY ALIEN life form (and, as far as I
know, it's not), you really DON'T want to do this.  "/dev/tty" is
supposed to be the "get me the controlling terminal" device in UNIX, and
should already exist on your machine; it should NOT refer to some
particular serial port. 

If you really meant "/dev/tty<something_or_other>", e.g.  "/dev/tty04"
or whatever, shouldn't that already exist once you've installed your
system?
