In other words: it's a pretty mess right now. I've noticed the third-party software modem drivers in ports have this problem. I looked at what it would take if we were to rewrite them as uart(4) attachments and was pleasantly surprised to find it'd eliminate the reckless forking of sio(4). However, eliminating the naming inconsistency here can only be a good thing; if uart(4) can be kept in sync with these tty changes so much the better. Regards, BMS
