I've seen something that could, possibly be 'similar'... If I use 'ttyd0' as a
terminal in /etc/ttys - it doesn't work (or, rather - It does "appear" to work
once I have COMCONSOLE selected)...

_BUT_ if I use 'cuaa0' in /etc/ttys - I get a working terminal on COM1 -
regardless...

Maybe ttydX is more sensitive about handshaking / carrier detect or something?

I'm not too clued up on the 'dialin' vs. 'dialout' tty/cuaa thing... Just seen
something similar to the above... :)
