If you check out the last few lines of your /etc/remote, they define
several tags for accessing your serial device which tip(1) references.
In 4.3-RC, there's a "com1" tag for accessing /dev/cuaa0 at 9600 baud,
no parity. eg:
# tip com1
If you've got an earlier release, you can use the tag "cuaa0c"
Cheers.
