	Well, without any quoted material here (f vs. F?) it is hard to
	tell what is being advised, but it is not a good idea to use
	/dev/ttya for outgoing (unless perhaps it is used when you are
	directly on the internet).  The rule is /dev/cua for outgoing
	and /dev/ttyda for incoming (though I guess there is a new
	outgoing dev for those using 2.0/040 machines.
