  A number of people have reported this, and looking at it, I think it's 
a bug in bhyve.

  nmdm attempts to simulate modem control (not quite correctly - run 
back-back cu's to see some of the behaviour), but also bhyve doesn't 
open the device non-blocking. This results in the open() syscall waiting 
for simulated carrier-detect to arrive, which doesn't happen until the 
other end of the nmdm is opened.

  A fix should be showing up shortly.

later,

Peter.
