CentOS - Jul 2007 - Legacy PTY Support ?

I am looking at T38Modem.  A relatively new version is ready for someone 
to build an rpm for (Mar '07).

But the readme warns:

Q. I try to use T38modem, but after run "t38modem -p ttyx0" I get a
message
   "Could not open /dev/ptyx0: No such file or directory".
A. Looks like you don't have legacy PTY devices compiled in your kernel.
   You need to re-compile the kernel with 'Legacy PTY Support'.

Is this an issue for Centos 4.4 and/or Centos 5?

On centos4:
grep -i pty /boot/config-2.6-9-* returns
# CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS is not set

 So I'd guess this would infact be a problem on c4. You can check for
yourself on c5.

'Legacy PTY Support' is not turned on in CentOS 4 or 5:

# CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS is not set
