CTTY--Examples

To change control of all input and output from the current device (your
computer monitor and keyboard) to the AUX port, type the following at the
command prompt:

    ctty aux

In this example, a remote terminal device connected to the AUX port controls
input and output for your system.

To transfer input and output back to the monitor and keyboard, type the
following command at the remote terminal:

    ctty con

An invalid device, (tested om Win98).
Caution: two lines below got wrapped.
