This message means the device can't be found. /dev/cufa is the
hardware-flow-control driver for the first serial port. Look in
your /dev directory for files with names starting with cu:
% cd /dev
% ls -lg cu*
crw-rw-rw- 1 uucp wheel 11,192 Jul 30 1992 cua
crw-rw-rw- 1 uucp wheel 11,193 Jul 30 1992 cub
crw-rw-rw- 1 uucp wheel 11,224 Jul 30 1992 cufa
crw-rw-rw- 1 uucp wheel 11,225 Jul 30 1992 cufb
%
If it's not there, then just use /dev/cua. I doubt that hardware
flow control is very important on the modem's command console.
For further info, consult your NeXTSTEP sys admin documentation or
man pages.
