HP-UX 11.00 - tty devices

What's the difference among /dev/pty/tty**, /dev/pts/t* and /dev/pts/# ?

Why rlogin assign to me /dev/pts/# and telnet assign to me /dev/pts/t* ?, why
/dev/pty/tty* devices are not assigned anymore ?

Howdy,

Read the manual pages for pty and pts.
pty - get the name of the terminal.
pts - STREAMS slave pty (pseudo terminal) driver.

man pty and man pts
