You use stty or setserial to control the serial port characteristics on most 
unixes.

screen /dev/device_name should then work - <control>-a is only the default 
escape character, it may be defined differently on your system, look for a 
.screenrc in your home directory or /etc/screenrc in case it's been changed 
n your system

apropos and man are your friends on unix - not as complete as HELP, but a 
good source of information none the less.
