Thanks for the information. As background information, I was trying to connect to a Cisco device via FreeBSD. After some looking, I found that the command that works under FreeBSD is:

I thought I would just "telnet /dev/<serial device name>" and everything would be cool. You will need something like minicom, which is equivalent to Window's 'hyperterminal' to talk to the serial port.
