When some process is using a /dev/cua* port, the associated /dev/ttyS*
port is blocked. Check with "ps eax" from a shell command line to see
what processes are running. Also check /etc/inittab to see if there
is a getty running. You can stop them from respawning by insert a '#'
symbaol in the first space of the line referencing the port you want
to use. Follow this with a "telinit q" from command line while logged
in as "root".
The "cu -l /dev/ttyD1" allows you to communicate with your modem. It
is usually configured differently for Linux than for MSdos. Read the
"modems blurb" in my "serial_suite.tgz". There is also a simple
program which can be used to communicate with your modem.
You will have to refer to the User's Manual for your modem to
determine the proper values to set in the control register.
Read my 'serial_suite.tgz'. This is a collection of blurbs about the
care and feeding of the serial ports and some simple programs. There is
a file demonstrating how the lock files should be programmed. There
is a simple getty, a dialer for ppp connections and some other misc
programs.
