Serial problems on a SPARC-2..

I am having a problem getting a modem to work as both a dial out device
and a dial-in device on a SPARC-2. It is currently connected to
/dev/cua1. What I have attempted to do, and maybe I am wrong, is to setup
in the /etc/ttytab file an enty called /dev/ttya and set it to remote.
Then I have an entry for the modem in the remote file. But, I get the
familiar all ports busy message when trying to access the port for
dial-out after the getty has been initialized. But, I have found that it
is possible to dial in during this scenario. So, I really need to know
how to clear the port so I can use it. I called sun support, and they
weren't able to help me. .....They couldn't make any immediate
suggestions. I am running the ttysoftcar program to try and clear the
port but it doesn't seem to help. I heard that in some of the SPARC-1's
that a bug in the ROM caused this problem, but it should have been fixed
by now. Do I need to run a special serial cable or something? Any
suggestions?
