   According to some of the FAQ's I've read I could/should(?) use
   /dev/cua??  but I have cua02 and cua03 in /dev and they give an
   error of 'Device not Configured'.

   Help! Please! Do I have to rebuild the kernal (can't think/see why
   though), should I use linux, or should I get an alarm clock to wake
   me at 03:00 each day so that I can dial up my Internet provider by
   hand every night :-(

None of these.  Unfortunately, a 'MAKEDEV all' only creates ttyd[23] and
cua0[23].  To create the missing files in /dev, just do a 'MAKEDEV cua0'
or 'MAKEDEV cua1'.
