My guess is that you are the victim of the fact that MS-DOS never quite 
discovered zero.  The fact that the initial com port is COM1 under DOS turns 
out being inconvenient in a zero-based world like Unix.

Your error message says "/dev/cua02".  That's the equivalent of MS-DOS's COM3. 
 Do you have three com ports?
