Use cua00
Look -- did you read the manual page?
-l line
Specify the line to use. Either of the forms like cua00 or
/dev/cua00 are permitted. The default is /dev/cua00. See cua(4)
for information on terminal devices. Users in group ``dialer'' are
permitted to use cua(4) devices by default.
Did you then read follow the breadcrumps to read cua(4)
?

It seems you did all that, but didn't read the manual pages.
In fact, what you want is entirely the defaults:
# cu
