I'll make a reach and assume you want to make an async connection out to a modem or directly to another UART. Check the manpages for tip(1), cu(1) and remote(5). Once you define a connection "name" and its settings in /etc/remote you'll then be able to open a connection to it with either tip or cu. There are plenty of other comm programs but those two can handle the basics. (check /usr/ports/comms for some others) If you want to set up the port for incoming connections then you'll be interested in /etc/gettytab(5) and configuring getty(8) to listen for connections via /etc/ttys(5). If someone has better info please chime in. My incoming async experience is slightly dated. :/ (By the way, those parenthesized numbers only designate the manpage section numbers. I include them here to emphasize there are manpages available but they'll all show up without specifying the sections.)
