I'v been trying to get cu to act as a  dumb-terminal....
When I type: cu -l tty00 -s 2400 -o "dir" 
it connects to my modem, exept that it gets a write error on the first 
key that I type and quits. My ppp script *will* actualy dial the phone # 
so cu should be able to work diretly too.... 
     I'm running all this on a PB180 with a b/w Xserver. The external 
modem that I'm using is an anchent 2400bps, because I can't use the 
internal 14.4kbps modem under NetBSD/mac68k.   -btc
