First, /dev/cua0 is the same port as /dev/ttyS0. The difference is that the
cua0 was designed to use modem controls. The listong below is from my SuSE
6.4 system.
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 5, 64 May 8 11:34 /dev/cua0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root uucp 4, 64 May 8 11:34 /dev/ttyS0
You might double check the device numbers to see if they may have changed
when you installed FreeBSD.
