This is a FIFO, not a port.  The full name is
/var/spool/fax/FIFO.cuaa1.

In my case, it was faxd that was trying to open the FIFO, and it got
back an error ENODEV (device not configured).  I *was* able to read
from it with cat:

(on /dev/ttyp8) echo 'foobar!' > /var/spool/fax/FIFO.cuaa0

(on /dev/ttyp3) /var/spool/fax 154 -> cat <FIFO.cuaa0
foobar!
