Hi,
Thanks for asking. I had a critical application that depended on
them until last week and am now happy to say that even they have moved
on (I protested the small number of available ptys and explained the
direction that Unix is going with Unix98 style ptys. Now I depend on
those. I would be very interested in seeing what you do with your pty
restructuring as I have a large amount of serial devices.
