/dev/cua* used to be used for modems which would be used to ``callout'' to other
boxen, like your ISP. This was back in the grand old days of Linux 2.0.xx, since
then, with the latest stable releases, ttyS* handles *all* serial line stuff, so you
would use it as the mouse/modem/etc device file.

In My Humble Opinion. You might also see IMNSHO (in my not so humble opinion, I tend
to use this one.. ;).
When you miss terms like that one, the jargon file might be helpful (online dictionary
of all the funny terms many of us use, including those acronyms).

Go try minicom again, too. When you get the main screen, hit 'Alt-z' and then 'e',
this will turn the local echo on. Clear the modem, and then play around a bit :), it
really is a fun program.
