the TTY subsystem is still kinda problematic when it comes to free-form device node names. That might can be changed. However at least you get 256 of them and then you can pick a specific or next free one every time you create a new DLCI. The Bluetooth RFCOMM stuff something like this already. However that code was written when we still had static major numbers. Maybe nowadays, you can just use dynamic major numbers and for every MUX instance just let the kernel pick a major number. Then udev will handle the rest. Regards Marcel
