This looks familiar.  It's really a bug of sorts in cu.  From another
window (or virtual terminal), do:

# stty -f /dev/cuaa0 -a
speed 9600 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns;
lflags: -icanon -isig -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoke -echonl
        -echoctl -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho -pendin
        -nokerninfo -extproc
iflags: -istrip -icrnl -inlcr -igncr -ixon -ixoff -ixany -imaxbel -ignbrk
        -brkint -inpck -ignpar -parmrk
oflags: -opost -onlcr -oxtabs
cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb -crtscts -dsrflow
                                        *******
        -dtrflow -mdmbuf
cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
        eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V;
        min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = <undef>;
        stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W;

This shows the complete state of the line.  You will probably find
-clocal (i.e. local communications reset, device waiting for an
incoming connection).  Next enter:

# stty -f /dev/cuaa0 clocal

This sets clocal (in the display you see 'clocal' instead of
'-clocal').  After that, things should work.

I very much doubt that that has anything to do with it.  Does it have
a PnP option?

I wouldn't have said 'of course'.  If you have a window manager
running, you don't need another one.  Check your .xinitrc file.  Maybe
it already invokes a window manager.  You can also enter:

$ ps aux | grep wm
root     15152  1.0  0.3   224  176  p5  S+    9:33AM    0:00.03 grep wm
grog       201  0.0  0.8   384  520  co  S    Fri06PM    0:08.53 fvwm

You will probably see some other window manager, but it might be that
you already have fvwm.

That sounds like fvwm.

I wouldn't be so sure :-)
