Ok all you gurus (i know you hate internal modems, but I'm stuck with it for 
now)...  Please help!  I have an internal 14400 modem on COM0 (com1 according
to everyone else in the PC world).  When I connect to it with tip, I get no
response, and when I tr to disconnect, it hangs the process and cannot be 
killed.  When I try to connect to a COM port that is not in use by the modem 
(i.e. a com port  that exists in the system but has nothing connected), tip
freaks out and spits out "stray interrupt..." and then the kernel panics and
reboots the system.  any ideas?

Ken
( ideas other than buying an external modem that is!)
