The lines in /etc/ttys are:
...
tty00   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown secure
tty01   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown secure  <option>
  ...
where option are "rtscts" or "mdmbuf" or both or none, without the quotes.
Well, I did not try the "local" option, maybe that would help?

The Wyse terminal supports all kinds of handshaking: DTR/DSR(DCD), CTR/CTS
and software type XON/XOFF, both or none.

dmesg output says:
[...]
com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4: ns8250 or ns16450, no fifo
com1 at isa0 port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3: ns8250 or ns16450, no fifo
