They aren't mythical, I use them regularly...

You did make a kernel which supports the bidir capabilities? Here are
the relevant entries in my config file:
---------- snip ---------- snip ---------- snip ---------- snip ----------
options "COM_BIDIR" #Bidirectional support in sys/isa/sio.c
#For high speed serial lines.
device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr
device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr
---------- snip ---------- snip ---------- snip ---------- snip ----------
in your kernel config file (I hope this wasn't changed for FreeBSD-1.1).
Bye,
-Michael
