Solaris is the same as SunOS 5.x.x, yes?

FWIW:

guava<3> uname -a
SunOS guava 5.5.1 Generic_103640-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2
guava<4> ls -l /dev/cua/*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root           41 Apr  3  1997 /dev/cua/a ->
../../devices/sbus at 1f,0/zs at f,1100000:a,cu
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root           41 Apr  3  1997 /dev/cua/b ->
../../devices/sbus at 1f,0/zs at f,1100000:b,cu

So it looks like Solaris still has it. (Although this may be different for
Solaris on Intel). HP-UX is a different story:
joppa<1> uname -a
HP-UX joppa B.10.20 A 9000/780 2011120175 two-user license
joppa<2> ls -l /dev/cua*
/dev/cua* not found
joppa<3> 

Cheers,

Raymond
