Well, that's what we went with. Though it's ttyCZ0255 . The reason was
that we can support more than 4 pci cards, so it's not too hard to get
more than 256 of these. Given that we'd then need three digits for
hex-numbered tty's, I decided to go with decimal. The shell script is
easier, and we aren't loosing much. :-)

Take care,
