Hi all,

I'm having difficulties hooking up an older PC running PROCOMM PLUS (DOS
version 2.01) to my FreeBSD box via the serial port.  I wired up a null
modem cable, etc., and set up /etc/ttys as per the FAQ.  Nothing.  I tried
a few different speeds on both ends.  Nothing.  Presently I don't have a
way of testing either machine's serial ports but I'll try to find
something soon, nonetheless I know the serial driver is working correctly
under FreeBSD because the modem on cuaa1 works.

Perhaps this is an issue about line control signals?  Let me know if
anyone has any ideas... thanks :)
