It seems to : be accepted by stty but a subsequent 'stty -a -f /dev/tty00' query shows that : it is in fact not changed. Further attempts show that stty will not change any Bi-directional ports were made the default with FreeBSD1.1.5.x Try using /dev/cua00 to dial out as it is clocal by default while /dev/tty00 is -clocal by default. Also take a look at /etc/rc.serial and read the sio man page. These document the new initial and locking port minor numbers for explicitly setting the terminal states on initial open and unchangeable locked settings. The new method is rather slick and works much better once you get used to the change.
