You can enable the pty devices in the kernel config under Device Drivers > Character Devices > Legacy (BSD) PTY Support One oddity I found with the original Centos/Redhat kernel was the extra serial ports I have installed appeared at high numbers for some reason (something like /dev/ttyS44 / 45 / 54 / 55) I used the latest release kernel from kernel.org and this put them back normal sequence from ttyS0 - ttyS5. It also made the whole system rather more stable, I think the Redhat kernel is a bit behind with the AX25 updates. Robert Jenkins, G8TBF.
