Lucio Chiappetti supplied the following gem..
 
  Well, your "terminals" (windows, telnet etc.) are "pseudo-ttys", the
  ttypn and ttyqn things, aren't they ?
 
  "ttys" are REAL tty ports like tty00 and tty01, are you planning to
  add a new card with more serial ports ?
 
Which makes everything perfectly clear.

(Perhaps this information is in the documentation but I gave up
searching after about 20 mins)
