I have no idea why I'm seeing this symptom:

Using the 'ptelnet' application on my Palm III, I can log into machines.
Really cute to see a little 'top' running. :)

Anyway, the suggested entry in /etc/ttys:

  ttyd0  "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  on secure

does not work for me at all, yet if I do this intead:

  cuaa0  "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  on secure

I indeed get a login prompt, and I'm all set.

I know that one device is for initiating outgoing connections, and
the other for incoming connections, but I don't understand why the
lines provided in a stock install seem to have the sense reversed...

(Oh, this is under FreeBSD-4.0-RELEASE, but I've seen similar
symptoms under 3.x.)
