It's now exceedingly straightforward, as the ``pty'' program will handle
all the details of pseudo-terminal allocation and management. See
pmlined, just posted to alt.sources, for an example of how easy it is to
implement a line discipline using pty. Feel free to play with pmlined
and add features.
