Ultrix LAT ttys

Is there an advantage or disadvantage to having a reverse-lat tty assigned
to each terminal server port or just letting the users grab whichever
port is available upon login?
One situation would have the /etc/rc.local set up sort of like this:
/etc/lcp -h /dev/tty08:SERVER1:PORT_1
/etc/lcp -h /dev/tty09:SERVER1:PORT_2
/etc/lcp -h /dev/tty10:SERVER1:PORT_3
/etc/lcp -h /dev/tty11:SERVER1:PORT_4
with /dev/tty08 - /dev/tty11 enabled in /etc/ttys.
The other situation would have the ports enabled in /etc/ttys only.
I have noticed that the first situation reports a connection (of course)
when I do an /etc/lcp -p /dev/tty08. The second situation shows no
connection with the same command. Does having a tty in connected state
consume any sort of resource? Does reverse-lat lose any of the multiplexed
packet advantages?
All of this assumes that I have sufficient gettys for each terminal server
port, ie. if I have 64 terminal server ports, I will have 64 gettys
enabled.
Thanks,
bill
