serial port gone?

I use the serial ports to connect one Alpha console port to the second
serial port of another Alpha. I have these /etc/remote entries:

remote:dv=/dev/tty01:br#9600:
remote0:dv=/dev/tty00:br#9600:

Suddenly on one machine tip fails with this message:

# tip remote
/dev/tty01: No such device or address
fstat error: Bad file number
tip: Cannot stat tty file
# ls -l /dev/tty00 /dev/tty01
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 35, 0 Sep 26 15:14 /dev/tty00
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 35, 1 Sep 26 15:33 /dev/tty01
# cat /dev/tty01 > /dev/null
cat: cannot open /dev/tty01
#

The same configuration on another pair is working just fine.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
