What does:
ls -l /dev/cua
tell you? Every Unix has a different naming scheme for serial ports; it
even changes from one release to the next (as in Linux). Look in /dev
for names that start with "cu", "tt", etc, and try them until you get one
that corresponds to your port. You'll probably need to do this as root,
since most devices are not world read-writable.
Once you figure out which device it is, read:
