[nsp] Strange TACACS message

        Hi. I have a 2511 with 16 async ports which rely on TACACS for
authentication. From the TACACS log file, seen below, the 2511 is
getting connection requests from line tty18. This happens every 30
seconds.

        I don't understand this because there are only 16 async ports
and four vty ports. What is tty18?

        Thanks.
