I am trying to setup a serial port on FreeBSD to use a modem to dial out
on (PC com port 0) and another modem to answer to an incoming call on PC
com port 1. 

I am unable to do anything. Every time I use the kermit command 'set line
tty00' It never comes back to let me connect.

I have recompiled the kernel to have the "COM_BIDIR" define and am using 
the sio drivers for com1-com4. 

The ttys file has the following:

tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" dialup off secure
tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" dialup off secure

Incidentaly, what software/config is needed to make the modem answer a 
call and login a user?

I can't even do: echo "this is a test" >tty00 to see the modem lights.
(only the TR light comes on.) I've tried "stty -f /dev/tty00 clocal" with 
no effect.

I have searched the FAQs on this and have not found any solution there!

I'd appreciate any help!
