Actually, /dev/cuaa1 if you're calling out.  The ttyd1 is only for
*dial-in* connections (so that you can share a single modem for outgoing
and incoming traffic, if desired).

Both tip and cu pretty much suck as comms utilities.  If you can get a
copy of kermit from the ports collection, I think you'll find it a much
nicer way of debugging your modem connection.
