I've hooked an internal modem to a 2.1.0 freebsd box as COM3. Any
attempts to "cu" the modem and set its registers were unsuccessful. I
want to use it for uucp or as dialup terminal.

I've tried putting a line in /etc/ttys that says

ttyd2   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  on

and tried "cu -l cuaa2" without success. Any "cu" to every /dev/cu* device
yields the same message, for example:

cu: open (/dev/cuaa0): Device not configured
cu: cuaa0: Line in use

I have under /dev cuaa0 to cuaa3, cuaia0 to cuaia3 and cuala0 to cuala3, and
have tried them all.

Anybody knows how to proceed ?
