   Hi,

   Minicom 1.4b comms package built out of the box on FreeBSD. I have one
   interesting problem though, if I use the sio drivers, then I cannot  
   access the modem. The DTR light comes on but the is all. If I use the
   older com drivers, then the package works well. It actually works better
   then it did under linux. :-)

   So, can anyone comment on having any problems with the sio drivers with 
   some programs? This is the first small problem I have had with the sio
   drivers. Are there any additional settings I must use?

Try
    stty -f /dev/tty00 clocal

The difference is that the FreeBSD default is to look for carrier !

Brian.
