Actually, /dev/cua* are now considered obselete ... something to do with
the file locking procedures they used. It is now recommended that you use
/dev/ttyS* inplace of /dev/cua* for all services, including dialing out.
and yes, it's generally simplest to make /dev/modem a symlink to your
ttyS device ... that way if the modem moves you don't have to change all
your configuration settings, just make a new symlink.
