Tsss, why are you writing that under OS/2 ? It puts ^M everywere... Time to

I seem to recall that by default, only 4  ptys are allocated in the default
kernel.

Put that into your config file and recompile :

pseudo-device   pty     16

Reboot and create more pty device files in your /dev/ directory :

cd /dev
MAKEDEV pty0            to create the first 16 ptys (/dev/ptyp*)
MAKEDEV pty1            to create the next 16 ones (/dev/ptyq*) and so on.
