the TTY is not really needed anymore, see hand of the paragraph

"It should not be set when using other terminals (i.e., mintty or xterm). "

About the other question, the /dev directory is a bit unusal,
as it is populated by element that are usually not visible with
$ls /dev

see POSIX name on
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.htm


try
$ ls -l /dev/tty
crw--w--w- 1 xxx xxxxxxxx 5, 0 2010-09-22 15:21 /dev/tty

$ ls -l /dev/tty1 and so on.
