Has anyone managed to get pppd working on a 16550A based com port?  I
have been using it successfully with a 16450 and since I am about to
buy a V.FAST modem, I thought I should buy a better comms board first.
I configured the new board as sio2 and used tip to talk to the modem
which was fine.  However, I cannot get pppd to work with it at all.

Should I be using the com driver instead of the sio driver?  Would
FreeBSD-1.1 work better?
