My system:  NetBSD-1.0, i386DX/25, 8M RAM, Serial card w/ 16550UARTS,
Hayes 2400 baud modem.

I configured the /etc/ttys file so I could use tty00 for 2400 baud dialup.
When I connect a terminal to that line everything works fine.  However,
when I connect the modem up and try to connect that way, I cant get a
login prompt.  The modem does answer.  The serial line I use is good and
works fine for dialing out (on my DOS machine w/ the same modem).

Is there something that I have overlooked? 

thanks in advance
