The command cu calls up another UNIX system, a terminal, or
possibly a non-UNIX system. It manages an interactive
conversation with possible transfers of files. It is con-
venient to think of cu as operating in two phases. The first
phase is the connection phase in which the connection is
established. cu then enters the conversation phase. The -d
option is the only one that applies to both phases.
/dev/*cu* has implications for how the serial port is set up. often a
single serial port will have several different device files, suited for
different uses.
