I'm trying to set FreeBSD up to communicate with a USB serial device. The
device contains a USB-to-serial chip, and FreeBSD reports it as

USB <-> Serial, FTDI

in response to the usbdevs command. But I can't, from the docs at hand,
figure out how to associate the USB device with a tty or cu device
so that I can communicate with it via Kermit or another terminal
program. How is this done?
