Maybe it isn't true but to me it seems there is still this duality between ttyd and cuad serial devices. Why is that? I'm just asking because someone I was talking with about modems an comm programs was 'criticising' this fact in FreeBSD "while other systems long have abandoned this dualism"? -- Chris Christoph P.
