This is bogus... one can have two (or more) MFC's installed. One could
parameterize this (see then entry for views or other that take a
number). That still leaves the question of what happens if one has, say,
a 2232 and a mfc... the MFC minnor numbers should start at 0, but then
maybe the ttyNN has to start at tty08.
