Your cross-cable is mis-wired. It should have CD (and CTS) on one
side wired to DTR on the other etc. This is a problem with most
``laplink'' cables.
Your fix is quite appropriate. The ttyd devices will block on open
'till carrier is available - which will never happen.
I'll close the PR when I get a
chance....
