The simplest ones are `cu' and `kermit'.

The driver name is `sio', so you should find the announcement of the
ports as `sio0', `sio1' etc. during bootup.
/dev/cua0* (FreeBSD 2.0R) or /dev/cuaa* (FreeBSD 2.0.5) for outgoing
connections.
/dev/ttyd* for incoming connections (getty running on it, should be
started via init under control of /etc/ttys).
The `*' above refers to the unit number (0 through N, corresponding
to COM1 through COM<N+1> from DOS' view).
