Defines the Network Terminal Accelerator adapter tty interface.
The /dev/hty* device files define, for the host computer, the interface-to-host adapter communication channels. For each I/O device connected to the host computer through a host adapter, there must be a /dev/hty* device file created to allow communication between the host computer and the I/O device.
To allow for future expansion, there may be more /dev/hty* files than actual physical devices connected through the host adapter.
The hty ports are functionally equivalent to /dev/tty* device files. The minor number corresponds to the channel number, as defined in the hty_config file.
