Never mind,

I found the answer. From the archive. Decided to look at dummy.c and 
numdummies=1, changed it to numdummies=3 and rebuilt that module. Works 
like a charm.

Question/Suggestion, couldn't this be made an option at configuration? 
Kind of like number_of_ptys=256.

Please CC  me with any response.

Thanks,
Rick Knight
