My original problem was that I could not figure out how to create the
device special files to access the serial ports on an Alphastation 200/166
running Digital Unix 3.2c.

short answer: the correct MAKEDEV syntax is:
               % MAKEDEV ace0

which creates character special files tty00 and tty01.

A longer, more informative SUMMARY can be found in the archives:

which was posted by Todd Kover a couple months ago.
