It seems that the allowable network ports are /dev/tty[p-sP-S][0-9a-v]
although tty[P-S][0-9a-v] don't seem to be supported by telnetd.

If you do a "cd /dev; for f in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do sh ./MAKEDEV pty$f; done"
you should get all of the devices.  You'll have to enable them in /etc/ttys
manually.
