I mean - what is the baud rate of a pty  ?
	Solaris made the distinction between B0, which means pty hangup mode,
and any other baud rate:

	But... why not implement a pty bandwidth limitation layer?  You say, I
need to justify it?  It's for, uh... protecting the system from unrestricted
pty usage DOS attacks!  Yeah.  That's what it's for.
B0 is hangup, that's not in question.
