the above made sense to me once i read the asyc (why is that not async?) man
page, but apparently not to the stock APC driver that comes with OSR6.

when running mkdev apc - to try and connect to com2/2a/2A/01h/01m, same
cable/UPS as had been running fine on 5.05, no port name seems acceptable
to the apc driver - all attempts return:

whatever_port_i_pick "is not currently set up for modem control (-clocal)"
