I guess that means that you aren't already working from a
VT100-compatible terminal.  Depending on what platform you're on,
the native OpenBSD console emulates a (superset of a) VT100.
Otherwise:  xterm(1) or screen(1) from the ports.

(Serial) communications and terminal emulation or entirely different
functions.  Looking for them in the same program is a clear sign
of PC-thinking.
