	Hi,
	I've just finished installing NetBSD 1.0 on my Texas Instruments
	TravelMate 4000E (486DX2/50) and I'm trying to set up a SLIP
	connection to my workstation.

	Actually I don't even come close to start a SLIP connection because
	I cannot neither read from nor write to the serial port!

	The machine can detect the com0 port at boot time but if, for example,
	here is what happens when I try cu:

	galileo# cu -s 9600 -l tty00
	Connected.
	cu: write: Input/output error


	Disconnected
	galileo#

	The error message appears as soon as I think of touching the keyboard.

	Any help will be immensely apreciated!
