During the final phases of the the install process, I am having
absolutely no luck getting the 'term' program to interact with my PC's
internal modem.  I have configured the correct com port (COM2) at
which my modem resides, yet term doesn't even echo chars I type at my
keyboard, and it eventually locks up (I suppose because some sort of
keyboard input buffer fills up...).
I need to get term working in order to get to the next step of dialing
up my ISP and trying to download the disksets for FreeBSD.
Is there something I may be missing in regard to the device setup for
COM2?

Thanks,
-- Greg
