I've got the same problem with com1 and a 2400 baud USRobotics internal
modem.  My sessions looks like this:
tip /dev/com1
connected

The world just stops turning at that point.  I don't get a # prompt and
I must reboot to get back to a command line.  Anybody have any suggestions
to solve this problem?  And Kwan-Seng:  If you get any clues could you please
clue me in too.  I'll do likewise.  Thanks.
