(Can try it You should rebuild a kernel with enough ptys...in order to do that change the line defining the number of pty's in /sys/i386/conf/<your machine name> so something like this: pseudo-device pty 8 Run config <your machine name>, cd to /sys/compile/<machine name> run make depend, and make. that shoudl do the trick. But look out: every tty reserves memory, and your kernel should fit into less then 640 kBytes. If you put this system on the net, I should also use terry's patches as there are a numer of security bugs inside... -Guido
