I looked at:

    http://www.bell-labs.com/user/dwd/5620faq.html

which says:

    In the System V world, someone (we don't know who) apparently decided
    that a pty-like solution was too inefficient. Thus, they created the
    xt driver.

I think the original xt work was done by Piers Lauder [at 1127].

I know he ported xt to streams for the Basser 8th Ed system.

I Cc'd Piers on it but he made no comment (typical Piers :).
