I can't seem to be able to connect to my modem directly using "cu"...
# cu -l tty00
cu: open (/dev/tty00): Permission denied
cu: tty00: Line in use
Hmmmm... I thought perhaps it was because I was running a getty on the
port, but turning it off had no effect. I have a 486DX50 running
FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and a 16550AFN connected to a Telebit WorldBlazer.
Under MS-DOS, I am composing this message over the same hardware.
More to the point, under FreeBSD I can run getty, log in, exit and dial
right back up - no problems. Simply can't seem to be able to use the
port bi-directionally, or at all once a getty has run on it.
Stupid questions:
Can the regular old tty00 be used bi-directionally?
Do I have to use some funky getty (ala uugetty) to do this?
Do I have to create a new device (ala SunOS) to do this?
I see references to /dev/cua0 on the net all the time... it ain't there.
What am I missing?
Any help would be appreciated.

PS> Anyone know of a document that describes, step by step, how to get
PPP running under FreeBSD 1.1.5.1? Sorry if this is a FAQ...
