Yes. cu(1) is one of the oldest unix utilities. It should be moved to ports long after things like rain(6). I actually normally use my own terminal program, since cu is too bloated: text data bss dec hex filename 419851 6716 76560 503127 7ad57 /usr/bin/cu 340083 7548 64816 412447 64b1f /usr/bin/tip 9873 132 2432 12437 3095 /home/bde/bin/term (all statically linked).
