I would like to have more than 16 ttys for telnet ie: /dev/ttyp*
/etc/ttys has /dev/ttyq* defined as enabled but there are no devices in the 
dev directory.  Does anyone know if these are supported and I should simply 
create the device files?

The machine holds out well with 16 logged in.  I don't want people to get 'no 
more telnetd ports' messages.
