I'm new with this so.. In /dev you have theese files - crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Jun 18 14:35 /dev/ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 1 Jun 18 14:34 /dev/ttyv1 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 2 Jun 18 14:34 /dev/ttyv2 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 3 May 20 21:20 /dev/ttyv3 - To create more, execute: mknod c 12 4 /dev/ttyv4 mknod c 12 5 /dev/ttyv5 ... ... Then add the ttys to /etc/ttys remember to turn them "on" in the ttys file, and then execute "kill -HUP 1" to make init reload the ttys file. Then you have more virtual ttys... :) --------------2F3E41162C72E22D84853C73 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="vcard.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Frode Nordahl Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="vcard.vcf" begin: vcard fn: Frode Nordahl n: Nordahl;Frode org: Big Blue Systems AS adr: P.B. 9043 Grønland;;0133 Oslo;Oslo;-;N-0133;NORWAY email;internet: froden@bigblue.no title: Technical manager tel;work: (+47) 22204718 tel;fax: (+47) 22203919 tel;home: - x-mozilla-cpt: ;0 x-mozilla-html: TRUE end: vcard --------------2F3E41162C72E22D84853C73--
