There should never be cua devices in /etc/ttys, so something is curiously
wrong.
Can you try playing with some of the following flags, and tell us
which ones work, from ttys(4):
Additionally, the following flags modify the default behavior of the
terminal line. Some of these flags may not be supported by a terminal
line driver. The flag fields should not be quoted.
local Treat the line as if it is locally connected.
rtscts Use RTS/CTS hardware flow control, if possible.
mdmbuf Use DTR/DCD flow control if possible.
softcar Ignore hardware carrier on the line.
Try all. Some of them will have similar effects.
