Funny, I was noticing the same thing today!
I wrote another /etc/rc which was a lot cleaner, and remembered a BSD
system (a VAX 11/750 running ULTRIX - a BSD look-alike) that had it.
I looked at the /etc/ttytype file so that I would be creating the "same"
"compatible" format.
A piece of mine looks like this:
pc7300 /dev/w1
pc7300 /dev/w2
tvi925 /dev/tty000
dumb /dev/ph1
and so on. The fields are separated by tabs, but maybe spaces would be
safer. Either way, I haven't noticed any trouble with tset.
