Okay, I'm pretty new to linux but I have my version up and running on my
laptop just fine and I can say this about /dev/cua*
It is NOT obsolete. The only way that I can connect to my modem (which is
a pcmcia card) is through /dev/cua1. I tried many times to connect to my
ISP through /dev/ttyS1, 2, 3 (it should be 1 because that is what the com
port is) and nothing happened. When I switched to /dev/cua1 everything
worked.
