Yes, I've seen other instances of WAKEUP_CHARS but they don't look like
the same thing, for example:

rocket_int.h:/* number of characters left in xmit buffer before we ask for more */
rocket_int.h:#define WAKEUP_CHARS 256

rocket.c:       if (info->xmit_cnt < WAKEUP_CHARS) {
rocket.c:               tty_wakeup(tty);

Maybe the instance in n_tty.c could use a better name instead?
