I downloaded NetBSD (no patches) and installed it on my system: -386 33MHz AMD cpu (no 387) -4Mb ram -130mb ide HD -BOCA 14.4baud modem got XFree86 up and running (no problems yet) then I tried to get my modem working. configured the modem on com0 irq 4 (as usual) mouse is on com1 irq3 (mouse works) and I configured my other comport on the serial card for com3 irq5. The kernal finds com0 and com1 when it boots but when I attempt to get tip to work the system hangs!. (but it goes far enough to write the LCK file is /var/spool/lock/LCK..com0) then I tried to use Seyon2.14, it compiled OK and I start it with seyon -modem /dev/com0 & but as soon as it starts I get a message Locating modems... and the system hangs!! ( again it writes the LCK..com0 file) I then tried every conceivable combinations of irq's and com's suspecting some sort of conflict with the serial card and modem. when I try something like stty -f /dev/com0 the system again hangs where I have to power down. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. at olson@ppc.ubc.ca
