(This assumes having ssl=pts set on the UML command line or in the default 
config, which is the default however).

This command should likely be done on the host, right? Otherwise I don't see 
how you get /dev/pts/5 and /dev/pts/9 on uml2.

I believe the above should work but probably there are better ways to achieve 
this - like attaching one guest tty directly to an host TTY.

Likely, you'd attach one UML to a host master PTY (/dev/ttypX ?) and the other 
to a host slave PTY (/dev/ptypX ?).
