Serial. Nothing fancy. The machine I use to watch the serial port is
running 14.1-RELEASE-p3 and nothing fancy :

callisto$
callisto$ uname -a
FreeBSD callisto 14.1-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64
callisto$
callisto$ id
uid=1001(admsys) gid=1001(admsys) groups=1001(admsys),0(wheel),68(dialer)
callisto$
callisto$ echo $TERM
vt100
callisto$
callisto$ cu -s 38400 -l /dev/cuau0
Connected

triton#
triton# uname -apKU
FreeBSD triton 15.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT #12
