***SYSTEM:
NetBSD 1.0 i386 on an Intell 486DX33/16MB RAM, 2 SCSI disks, Adapetc 1542CF,
  true 16550 UART IO card 2s/1p, external LineLink 144e Fax Modem.  I don't
  see it as a hardware problem since I once had ppp w/ this hardware and
  Linux.

***SYMPTOMS:
$cu -l /dev/tty01 -s 38400 dir
Connected.
cu:write: Input/output error       <= When I type a character.

Disconnected.

Error after kill 248 (kill -HUP 248 produces no error):

***FILES & PERMISSIONS:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root  tty    8,  1 Dec 20 16:03 /dev/tty01

-r-xr-sr-x 1 bin   kmem   16384 Oct 19  1994 /usr/bin/pppstats*

The goal is to get ppp running and I'm running out of ideas.  Please
help!
