I'm having the exact same troubles with an internal modem on com2 (irq3
0x2f8). I've sent mail to the questions mailing list, and some people have
worked around this by commenting out some of the error checking code in
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sio.c, but that didn't work for me.
Hope we can get some help on the subject, I have to keep re-booting my machine
to win95 to read mail and news. :^(
