what kind?  different drivers have different naming conventions for
the device special file.

get a command prompt and do "ls /dev/cu.*" and see what turns up.  You
may want to do it once without the device plugged in and again after
you plug it up.

/dev/cu.xxxxx is preferable to /dev/tty.xxxxx

You need the full path to the device special file - e.g.
/dev/cu.usbserial-00000000 is my FTDI adapter.  Xastir doesn't add the
"/dev/" for you.
