Just seems cleaner to >me. Am I confused? The main purpose of cuaa0 to multiplex the port, not to disable modem control. In fact, cuaa0 normally has modem control. Modem control is disabled by setting CLOCAL after opening the port in O_NONBLOCK mode (like X does) or by setting it before opening the port and locking it on using the initial and lock state control devices.
