I have never had any trouble using cu(1) for accessing a variety of
different machines and operating systems. I can't even see any reason
why you would have any trouble with cu. All it does is send and
receive characters. As for modifying the serial drivers, you
apparently haven't heard of the ioctl function or the stty command. Cu
does not echo back received characters. Perhaps you haven't been
disabling the getty(8) on the outgoing line? Cu has a -h (half duplex)
option that controls whether cu does local echoing. I've even been
able to use a PC through cu by doing a CTTY COM1: on the PC. Some
programs won't play nice, like BASICA and LOTUS, but that's not cu's
fault.
