I recently acquired and installed 386bsd-0.1, and used the new patchkit to
modify the source. I made a new kernel, which boots with no problem. However,
both in the unpatched and patched versions, there is a problem enabling my
com2 for logins.
I make the proper entries in /etc/ttys for a T19200, dialup, and on, but
when I call the modem line the modem won't even respond with a carrier tone.
This is *extremely* weird. The port and modem work fine under coherent 4.0,
so I know it's not hardware.
If this problem is a known quantity, or if anyone has a suggestion,
please respond via email.
Many thanks.
