If you remove the mdmbuf flag from /etc/ttys, the error message
disappears. AFAIK it just means that the mdmbuf flag (DTR/DCD
flow control) is not supported by the 85C30 driver.

BTW I wonder why you might need rtscts and mdmbuf at the same
time. Must be some pretty weird equipment connected to your
serial port?
