Andrew,
There are no serial ports and hence no /dev/term/b on this system. In fact if
the USB<->RS-232 adapter is not plugged in, there is no /dev/term or /dev/cua
either. Which may explain some of the weirdness when I was setting up the port
as I don't think I had plugged in the Keyspan adapter when I started
configuring it. /dev/{term,cua}/0 don't get created until you plug in the
adapter and disappear when you unplug it.
ttymon holds /dev/term/0, so even root or uucp cannot open /dev/term/0. stty
just hangs until interrupted. Everything I've read suggests that it is not
possible to have a port be outbound only and that is must be bidirectional.
However, I've not attempted to test that. I've got enough annoyance as it is.
However, I can see lots of opportunity for trouble w/ ttymon running on a port
that goes away when the USB-serial adapter is unplugged.
I can open /dev/cua/0 w/ stty, but do not seem to be able to make any changes.
To wit:

Note that attempting to set olcuc on /dev/cua/0 had no apparent effect.
