You'll get far more replies if you post to comp.os.386bsd.*,
the 'official' home of the BSD-du-jour free ports...

This is the expected behaviour of the serial driver/ports (I
just asked this same question two weeks ago)
Basically, any setting changes last as long as the port is
open. Thus, when you execute 'stty 19200 < /dev/tty00' you get
command opens port
change settings on port
exit command, resetting port.
THe way around this is to start whatever comand you want to
run, such as tip or cu, and then pause it and change the
settings... Since the ports are still open, the changes remain
in effect....

Unfortunately, I got around this problem by executing
chmod 666 /dev/tty00
It's ugly, but I have yet to see a better solution....
I'm currently running everything as root, so there' isn't
too large a problem...
The other problem you're going to have is with tip and cu
bitching about /var/log/aculog not working. Here's how to fix
that.
cd /var/log
touch aculog
chown uucp.dialer aculog
chmod 640 aculog
Make sure that the entry in newsyslog.conf is happy..

There are a lot of problems getting emacs to work under NetBSD 0.9
because of the new a.out format under the latter.
One of the core developers of 0.9 posted the following which is
a patch for emacs 19.17 (which should work under 19.19 I suppose)
Toodlepi!
Marc 'em.
A more complete set of diffs for Emacs 19.17 follows. I have not
updated my Emacs since then.
