The ones you name are correct, you can use any ttyX / ptyX pairs.
just do;
ls /dev/ttya* (b*) etc. there are also ttya1 (2) devices as well which
are the same. I think i am correct in saying there are 256 different
pairs to be used.
ls -al /dev/pty* | wc -l
Should show how many you have on your machine.
