Is it tip or cu?

I've used tip on an embedded linux system as a basic serial comms
utility, but tip on FreeBSD appears to be a login-style connection
program only? In any case, the following worked for me:

# cu -l cuaa0
Connected
~

Disconnect is either ~^D or ~. (tilde + ctrl-d or tilde + period).
