Except the fact that it is there ready to use without recompiling the kernel, in this case actually nothing. IMHO it just makes PTYs easier to handle.

Other than having to recompile the kernel to support legacy pty devices, are there any other benefits to going the socat route? Seems both powerful and overkill!

I am using socat to create PTY links. e.g.: /usr/bin/socat pty,link=/var/ax25/axip,raw,echo=0 pty,link=/var/ax25/kip,raw,echo=0 & to create the pair /var/ax25/axip and /var/ax25/kip
