>Description:
	Some suggestions for changes to /etc/remote.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	- Now that we have /dev/dty* devices, shouldn't all references
	to /dev/tty* in /etc/remote be changed to the equivalent
	/dev/dty device?

	- the com0* entry names are a bit PC-centric (looking at the CVS
	log, they seem to have been inherited from 386BSD). I suggest
	changing them to dty0* or tty0*, although, of course, some ports
	have different naming conventions (ie. tty/dty[abcd] on Suns).

	- since many systems have at least 2 ports, an entry
	corresponding to com0 for tty/dty01 would be useful (above
	caveat applies again).

	- "pa=none" is probably sensible for most cases.

I've appended a diff illustrating these changes.
