Switching to cuad* should have worked.  sio(4) was the only driver
where the cua* and tty* devices had different letters, so the cuaa*
devices were renamed in 6.0 to match their ttyd* counterparts.  If
you're using an internal modem, if may be a "Winmodem" requiring a
special driver.  The comms/ltmdm port may help here.  If it's an
external modem, try cuad1.
