Subject:   Running getty on cuaa1 vs ttyd1

I'm using FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE and trying to enable logins from a
Palm III using its Hot Sync cradle.  On the Palm side I'm using
ptelnet (http://netpage.em.com.br/mmand/ptelnet.htm) in serial
mode.  I finally got it to work but on the FreeBSD side I had to
enable the getty on cuaa1 instead of ttyd1.  My /etc/ttys file now
looks like this:

cuaa1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  on secure

When I ran the getty on ttyd1 I wasn't able to get a login prompt.
Can someone tell me why why I have to use cuaa1 in this case?
