TTYs follow the same naming convention like the cuaUxx .

If the modem has got one modem in each interface and three interfaces:

/dev/cuaU0 /dev/ttyU0
/dev/cuaU1 /dev/ttyU1
/dev/cuaU2 /dev/ttyU2

If the modem has got three modems in one interface:

/dev/cuaU0.0 /dev/ttyU0.0
/dev/cuaU0.1 /dev/ttyU0.1
/dev/cuaU0.2 /dev/ttyU0.2

How this is configured is decided by the USB device manufacturer.
