Communicate Serial Modem using non-Root user

Hi,

I'm having a issue on communicating the serial GSM modem in Sun Solaris 5.9

To implement such connectiom, i'm using the "tip -115200 /dev/term/a" command and i successfully get the "connected" status
And then i send a "AT" message and receive "OK" response from the modem

Anyhow, this can only be done by login as a ROOT user
When i try to connect as normal user, i recieve the "tip: unknown host /dev/term/a"

FYI, i tried to tip the /dev/cua/a and it works for BOTH users
BUT i'm writing a SMS program using SMSLib. And it only recognize /dev/term/* instead of /dev/cua/*.

Is there any OS config i can do to solve this issue?

Thanks
