The problem with softcar is that if the phone hangs up, cu won't notice
carrier dropping.
I created the file /etc/uucp/port containing the following
port mymodem
type modem
device /dev/tty01
speed 38400
which tells cu that the device is a modem, and that it has to play
games with CLOCAL in order to open the device.
