The ttyd* ports are the dialin ports and the cua* ports are the dial out ports. The "i" stands for initial open settings and the "l" stands for locked settings. The modem() macro in rc.serial is allready set up to do what you want. It by default sets up crtcts and 57600 baud connections for the initial open of both the dialin and dialout ports and locks the crtcts in place for both the dialin and dialout ports. All you need to do is enable it on your correct serial port by changing the following line at the bottom of the file. Assuming your com2 is sio1 change # modem 1 to modem 1 I changed the modem() function to 38400 for the initial open as CSU's dialup lines only support 38400 max :( You can modify it to suit your own situation.
