That is correct. My old DOS terminal (8086, 640K ram, 720K floppy) 
passed away last week. I wanted to use openBSD for analysis anyway so 
this is as good a time as any . . .

I was a PC user until June 15, 2000!

So, if I use cu to connect to my serial device, what port do I use? I 
tried cua01 but cu says: "no matching port", I tried ttys1 and tty01, 
same thing. I've run out of ideas.
