Well, here's an incredibly stupid question but I cant seem to find the
answer SO:

 FreeBSD-1.0 Release
 486/33 Laptop 2 serial ports, chipset unknown
 Pract. Perif PM14400FXMT 14.4k Modem

What's them magic incantatoin to dial out?

tried kermit, set modem hayes, set line /dev/tty00, TR light comes on,
prompt doesn't come back, interupt, TR still on, connect, cant talk to it.

man pages refer to sio* and com* but I dont seem to have /dev entries
for these.

Sorry to spend bandwith on this, just cant seem to get it.

email please (spare everyon else)
Thanks
