That sounds about right. Can you tell me what version of gcc you used to
compile bash and Lynx?

I agree, but every system is still going to be a bit different.

For example, I think standard Solaris puts telnet sessions under
/dev/pts/?? and dialup/terminal sessions uunder /dev/term/??.
The scsiTerminal Server driver puts its ports under /dev/sts/tty????.
We've tried moving the symlinks out to /dev/term/?? and changing the
port monitors to use that path, but connections are still listed as coming
from sts/tty????. (We would've played around a bit more but our users were
getting quite angry. ;)

The effect of all this was that all the modem utilities had to be
rewritten to use the right paths and pattern matches specific to the STS
driver, and I'm not sure yet how these changes should be merged back into
the CSuite dist. I'm guessing a few environmental variables would do it.
