Hi,

Minicom 1.4b comms package built out of the box on FreeBSD. I have one
interesting problem though, if I use the sio drivers, then I cannot  
access the modem. The DTR light comes on but the is all. If I use the
older com drivers, then the package works well. It actually works better
then it did under linux. :-)

So, can anyone comment on having any problems with the sio drivers with 
some programs? This is the first small problem I have had with the sio
drivers. Are there any additional settings I must use?
