IMO man page should be updated to mention "ttyZ[01]",
as MI src/etc/MAKEDEV.tmpl does.

tty[ab] were derived from sun3 and sparc, which followed SunOS ones.

Other ports used tty0[01] etc. but IIRC it caused conflicts with tty0?
of com(4) on ports which has both zs(4) and com(4) when MI MAKEDEV.tmpl
was introduced.  Then there was discussion to use ttyC? for com(4) and
ttyZ? for zs(4) if there was no histrical restrictions.
