Hola,

	I'm having a problem with NetBSD 0.9.  I use my modem to talk to an
Annex Terminal Server at the University of Iowa, and from there to the rest
of the Net.  I can connect just fine at 38400 baud using either tip or kermit
but if I exit the program to run an external protocol like rz or term, the
modem apparently gets a break which the Annex TS interprets as an interupt
signal and returns to it's prompt.  If I simply exit tip or kermit and return,
I have no such problems.  I havn't tried going from tip to kermit or vice 
versa, come to think of it, but I'll try later, just for kicks.

	Does anyone know what is causing this.  I'm in desperate need of
term, as one session with kermit for file transfers is not cutting it.

Any help will be *GREATLY* appreciated.   - Tim Schlie
