	Bidirectional ports have been made the default in 1.1.5.x
This means that /dev/tty01 is by default set up as -clocal.  You
should use /dev/cua01 major 28, minor 129 for dial out.  It is set up as
clocal by default.  Also take a look at /etc/rc.serial to see how to
use the initial and locking ports.  With these you can set what the
intial open state is for a specific com port and also lock in an
unchangeable stty state on that port.
