Hey folks!

O.K. Your discussion is very nice, but is there any way to keep
compatible to FreeBSD? I think that is a better way.
Your idea using Solaris-like cua (UUCP-devices) is also good.
SCO-Unix uses ttya01 and ttyA01 for having serial connection.
(I think one is for direct connection, the other for Hayes-modem)
In our days we should look for compatibility to the most popular
Unix-versions (System V and BSD4.4)
