Hi All!


A user proposed some changes to deal with serial ports I do not quite
understand (and tend to not agree with). Can a serial ports guru take
a look at the PR:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211101
and comment here (or at the PR if you wish) on proposed changes (for
serial ports changes).

In brief (as I understand). Currently there is a support for cua* ports
only (no support for tty* ports). The proposed changes restrict using
cua* but allow tty* ports, which will act like cua* ports.

As for me I'll add tty* ports without removing cua*.


Thank you.
