There have been several postings on this topic lately.  The cu routine should
be a last resort in UNIX to non-UNIX communications situations.  Someone
using a small UNIX system as a make-believe terminal via cu will probably
have to modify the port driver for the port being used, i.e. set usart values
to match those of the target machine, turn echoing off (since most other 
computers don't like something which they regard as a terminal echoing back
at them) while somehow still making sure that stuff going TO the target
machine can be seen on the user console......  especially with PCs, using the
PC as the terminal is a lot easier, lots of good programs to do that around.
