I have tip correctly configured, I can tip com0 and I can watch the lights on my modem blink, I can even dial out, but tip doesnt display anything (the modem does have verbose and echo on). When I try to quit tip (~.) it doesnt return me to my shell, it just sits there in la-la land, I can type and it shows up on the screen but no cammands are executed and nothing is sent to the modem (after trying to quit). On a soft-reboot I selected MS-DOS as the os and tried one of my communication programs and th same thing happend. Not till I did a hard-boot did I get moy com port back in DOS. I have 4 com ports all configured in the standard way (ie IRQs and MEM). Another problem (if thats what it is), I keep getting a message from the wd driver... (looks something like the following) wdc0: Extra interupt (or something like that) Please HELP! My com ports worked under 386BSD, I dont want to have to start all over!
