Might also check /dev/MAKEDEV. It can create 64 master/slave pairs that could get you back online quick. The devpts (I think thats a /proc pseudo terminal implementation), may apply - if it is an old style pty the MAKEDEV may fix you up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jesse I Pollard, II Email: pollard@navo.hpc.mil
