hi

PTYDAEMON
==========
`ptydaemon' is used by the shell layers (shl) software. `shl' is a historical alternative to job control. HP-UX offers job control (settable through the `stty susp' command, often set to control-Z), but it also offers
shell layers.

VTDAEMON
==========
`vtdaemon' responds to requests from other systems on the LAN made by the `vt' command. `vtdaemon' spawns a server to respond to each request that it receives. Another function of 'vtdaemon' is to create portals (callout devices used by the uucp program `uucico') and to service portal requests
from other machines.
