How would one go about allowing a 1.1.5.1 FreeBSD machine to allow for 
more then 16 simultaneous logins?  We use a FreeBSD machine here as a 
small BBS type system and so far have not has a problem with the current 
16 login limit.  However, we now have 32 lines connected to the machine 
(via a term server and the net of course) and we cant have that many 
people online at one time.

The MAKEDEV file does seem to indicate that there can be such devices 
such as ttyq,r and s instead of just ttyp's... but I cant get them made 
at all.

Any help in this matter would be appreciated.  I would also prefer the 
response in EMAIL form since my news server is being converted from good 
old CNEW to INN and is not very reliable at this time.

Thanks for any help.
