I have seen such suggestion many times and really confused. Shouldn't
the dial out device be /dev/cua00 or /dev/cua01 and the dial in port be
/dev/tty00 or /dev/tty01? I have tried to use /dev/tty01 for kermit to
dial out and was never able to connect that port (maybe I did not wait
that LONG). But /dev/cua01 works fine.
