Hi,

** I read the recenrly posted FAQ, but found no answer to the following **

I recently dropped a FreeBSD 1.0.2 kernel in my 386bsd 0.1 (no patches)
installation and found out that it isn't configured for com?? drivers.
it recognizes sio0 and sio1 at bootup. So I made /dev/sio00 (28,0) and 
/dev/sio01 (28,1) but I'm encountering problems:

COM1: (internal modem) I can't access my modem at all. stty hangs on it.
COM2: (null modem) I get a login prompt from my Linux box, hangs at the
      password prompt. Tried changing different settings to no avail.	

Q. How do I talk to my serial ports? Are the major/minor device numbers
   correct?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Cheers,

--
