I believe the former is for callout only which the latter is for
callin/callout. Whether this refers to traffic or connection I don't
know, just remember gleaning this fro

I ever used DOS, so your assumptions were wrong.
Another reason why I chose /dev/cua1 was this paragraph in the
PCMCIA-HOWTO which states
3.3 How do I use my PCMCIA modem card?
Linux serial devices are accessed via the /dev/cua* and /dev/ttyS*
special device files. The ttyS* devices ar

Believe me, they are obsolete, and aren't any more installed.

There have been various mailings here along the lines of
/dev/cua* names are deprepcated in favour of /dev/ttyS*.
I was just wondering why the change (and when). I thought it used to
be that ttyS* was dial-in and cua* was dial-out (or possibly
vice-versa).
