Hi All,
        My questions relate to adding new pseudo terminals.
        I have all the doco on HTML , its just the semantics
        of the language I have trouble interpretting.

a) What is the difference between STREAMS-based pseudoterminals
                          and clist- based pseudoterminals

b) Is the "System configuration file" /sys/conf/MYMACHINE

c)Is changing the nptys value in the PTS in the Kernel tuner the same
  as adding "pseudo-device rpty 655" in the "System configuration file"

d) Changing values with the kernel tuner automatically adds them
   into the /etc/sysconfigtab file. Does this get loaded at boot time
   or when I build a new kernel.

e) After doing /MAKEDEV pty_# , I presume I have to build a new
   kernel to add these devices. ?

Once again , Thanking you , and no hurry .
