Try cuaa0 instead of ttyd0 - IIRC that did the trick for me when
connecting from one FreeBSD to another FreeBSD machine using a serial
cable. This seems the "wrong" way of doing it to me, as sio(4) says:
FILES
/dev/ttyd? for callin ports
/dev/ttyid?
/dev/ttyld? corresponding callin initial-state and lock-state devices
/dev/cuaa? for callout ports
/dev/cuaia?
/dev/cuala? corresponding callout initial-state and lock-state devices
Still, it might work, or I might be talking rubbish.
