I am having trouble with NetBSD and my modem on COM1.

The modem is a USR Sportster 14.4

I have it set for DOS COM2 and IRQ3

i put this line in my /etc/remote:

com1:com1:dv=/dev/com1:br#19200:at=hayes:pa=none:


when I use 'tip com1'

it says 'connected' beeps and then hangs


after plowing through the faqs i have seen some possible solutions by 
modifying the kernal, unfortunately the disks which I downloaded the kernal 
source distribution onto were corrupted.


is a kernal mod the only way to fix this problem or am I overlooking 
something obvious?



please email any responses as news takes forever and booting dos floppies 
to log in really sucks :)



thanks
