The documentation on this is slight but this is what you must do. In
addition to all the standard files (i.e. ttytab) you must create a cu
device using a minor device number 128 greater than the minor device
number for the tty port. For ttya you would 'mknod cua0 c 12 128'. Then
you must use 'eeprom' from SunOS or the new command mode in the monitor to
set the non-default  `ttya-ignore-cd` setting which I believe is false.
Next, you must shut the machine completely off (power off, not any of the
reset levels).

Now you can use the cu device as your tip device for dialing out and the
tty device as the dial-in device (Sun recommends renaming the tty port to
ttyd#).

	Good Luck
