   I am having trouble using tip on NetBSD communicate with my modem.
   I know that since my modem is using com2 in DOS, it is using com1 in NetBSD.
   I did everything according to FAQ.  But it seems like I don't have /dev/com1
   port.  And if I use com0 it gives me permission denied and "link down" errors.

   But, I saw the message when it was booting showing that I do have com0, com1,and
   com3.  What is going on???????????

   Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

`man sio'

The port names and device numbers have changed.  You now should be using
cua0?/ttyd? for modems and tty0? for hardwired terminals.
