I am using two modems on ttyd0 and ttyd1, so I don't have
tty00 and tty01 in /dev. The problem occurs when I type 'w'.
The message is as follows: "w: /dev/tty00: No such file or directory"
In /etc/ttys I put off both tty00 and tty01, and ttyd0 and ttyd1 are on.

Is there any other file I must change to make system works properly?
Why I don't get any warning for tty01?
