For the scenario where you have two openbsd hosts, one connected to
the second with a serial null modem cable, what is the right device to
use when connecting using tip(1) from the first to a console on the
second?

These suggest that cua is the right device to use:

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq8.html#TTY
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=115868967631296&w=2
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=118764543712174&w=2

But for me, using cua00 fails with "missing phone number" message
while tty00 works:

molodetz$ tip -19200 tty00
can't open log file /var/log/aculog.
connected

OpenBSD/i386 (sinoptik.sancho2k.net) (tty00)

login: ~

molodetz$ tip -19200 cua00
can't open log file /var/log/aculog.
missing phone number
[EOT]

If cua00 is the right device to use when connecting out, why the
missing phone number error?
