Golly, I can now use:

cisco:dv=/dev/dtyC3:br#9600:pa=none:dc:

dtyC0 is now dtyC3.  Funny for a system with only one serial port to have it
appear as com3.  Yeah, it works there too...

3.x:  com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4: ns16550a, working fifo
  4: com3 at acpi0 (PNP0501-0)
  4: com3: io 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4
  4: com3: ns16550a, working fifo

Thanks Todd too for teaching me that I had to look around to find it.
