I know I can make 256 through MAKEDEV (after a line modification to the script) # MAKEDEV pty4 pty5 pty6 pty7 pty8 pty9 pty10 pty11 pty12 pty13 pty14 pty15 But can I make more? If so what would they be called? This is also assuming I change the 'pseudo-device pty' line on the kernel config file. -- chris
