For some strange reason, FreeBSD (all versions) sio drivers don't work
here.  I had them working under 386BSD pk 0.2.4.  Here's what happens
when I configure sios and try to place a uucp call via modem:

The modem dials and makes a connection, but as soon as data comes in
(after CONNECT message), the system stops recognizing incoming data.
When I use cu to establish a connection to my feed, I can send data
(hit the RETURN key, for example) and my feed responds (the modem RXD
LED blinks), but somehow the data doesn't "come through".  No, I don't
have 16550 chips but as I said, it worked very fine under 386BSD
pk 0.2.4.

I'm currently using the com drivers which is a bit annoying.
