On our Linux 2.2 Intel boxes, opening /dev/ttyS* blocks until the modem control lines become active if the port is in non-CLOCAL mode, whereas /dev/cua* doesn't. Since you can't change mode without opening the device, /dev/cua* is required to avoid the chicken-and-egg problem. Have the semantics of /dev/ttyS* changed to remove the need for /dev/cua*?
