I don't care that my SCSI disks are attached to adv*, adw*, ahc*, ncr*,
siop*, or whatever.  They're sd*.  Why should ttys be different?

I'd rather see a generic tty attachment that could be a Cyclades card,
the system ports, pcmcia ports, or whatever.  They would all be ttyNNN
(or NNNN ?), and you could hardwire them into specific locations.

This is more work, and I hesitate to suggest it because I don't have
the time to put my code where my mouth is, but I think it's a cleaner
design.
