1. Don't use /dev/cua[0-9]; it's obsolete. Use /dev/ttyS[0-9]
2. The syntax of cu is:
cu system
or cu -l port
so in your case, you want to use `cu -l /dev/ttyS0', which will connect
you directly to the serial port.
`cu system' is used to contact another site directly through the serial
port; it requires the site details (such as modem telephone number) to
have been set up in configuration files beforehand.
3. To terminate cu once you're connected, type `<CR> ~.' (return, tilde, dot).
For further information, see the info files for uucp.
