Read the comments in .../linux-n.n/include/linux/tty.h and then modify NR_PTYS accordingly. You need to add more majors as well.
Note that ptys are used for interactive terminals, you don't need one for every network connection. You may be adding something that you don't need and wasting kernel space.
Cheers, Dick Johnson Penguin : Linux version 2.4.18 on an i686 machine (797.90 BogoMips). Why is the government concerned about the lunatic fringe? Think about it.
