1.1.5.1 ;-)

: and this:
: stty -f /dev/tty01 -clocal
: both of which yield no error and have no effect on the modem's operation:
: seyon still can't use it and kermit needs a ^Cto get it going again.
: What's the problem here?

There is a sio manpage which explains the different devices to you.
Use the call out devices /dev/cua00, ... when calling out.
Use the initial state and/or lock state devices cuai00 / cual00
if you want to initialize your modem ports first ...

Hope that helps.
