Well, you should never try new things when you are tired, and you should
always back the old file up, but nevertheless, I've munged up my ttys file
so that I can no longer get pppd to dial out, and I can't fix it.

I was trying to follow a suggestion in Essential Systems Administration and
create two pseudo tty's, ttyd0 and cua0 to use for dial out and dial in
respectively, I did mknod and think I successfully created both, changed
/etc/ppp/options to point to ttyd0, but I get back device not configured.
I don't get an error when I try to send ats0=2 to the modem via cua0, but
it doesn't work.

I was working ok last night using tty00 for both, but I have no clue what
the line in ttys was, and cant even get back to where I was.

Can anyone offer a suggestion, or point out where to look. I did man
gettys, but haven't been successful.
