(The more I poke at serial > devices, the less I understand them... My X server uses the ttyd? device > just fine.) Operations on a ttyd? device will block until the port has DCD raised. If DCD drops again, the process on the port will get HUP. cua? devices are similar, but they pretend that they have DCD when you first open them. The X server knows how to find the cuaa? device that corresponds to a give ttyd? device.
