Hello,

I have a modem connected to sio01 and everything worked fine using tip on 386bsd + patches, but now that I did a source upgrade to FreeBSD 1.0 I can not get tip to work. 

When I enter the command:
tip work38400              (the work38400 is the name in the remote file)

all I get is:
Link down                  (which seems realy strange)

I debugged the tip code some and it seems to be having trouble on the open of /dev/sio01.  Anybody have a clue?
