Without knowing anything about the details I had the same feeling,
considering that on real hardware there was a modem connected to that port
so it may be looking for that modem. But I think we want to emulate a
functional serial port but without the modem instead so we don't need to
emulate the modem as well. Not sure what should it say for just a serial
port. Maybe none or serial instead of modem.

I've also found these (from NetBSD and Linux appearently):

Hope this helps.
