Uh oh.  If you were running FreeBSD or 386bsd, I would suggest you fire
up the converters, and run sio, which works pretty darn OK.  I don't
know offhand what the NetBSD dudes have for serial drivers other than
the stock one.

It is odd that you're having problems at 9600 baud, I would'nt have guessed
you'd have trouble on a 486 with 9600 baud.

Are you sure you have modem control,flow control, and all that mumbo-jumbo
set up properly?
