Switching to cuad* should have worked. sio(4) was the only driver where the cua* and tty* devices had different letters, so the cuaa* devices were renamed in 6.0 to match their ttyd* counterparts. If you're using an internal modem, if may be a "Winmodem" requiring a special driver. The comms/ltmdm port may help here. If it's an external modem, try cuad1. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
