It may sound interesting, but it is something that orevents reliable modem 
usage.

/dev/cua/* and /dev/tty/* are implemented in Solaris in a way that either 
allows to open /dev/cua/* or /dev/tty/* depending on whether there is a carrier 
or not. If you do it in a different way, ingoing and outgoing programs may 
confuse each other.
