	I've recently just installed NetBSD, and (the second time
around it took me only 1.5 hours! :-) I'm having trouble with tip, and
getting to to interact with my modem.

	I have the line:

com0:dv=/dev/com0:br#38400

	in my /etc/remote and I have a /dev/com0 file, which points to
/dev/tty00. When the kernel boots it also recognizes com1 and com2,
but I have nothing connected to those ports. (yet)

	When I run "tip com0", however, the system doesn't interact
with my modem. Often, after I do that, I do ~. to quit, and it says
[EOT] happily, but it doesn't quit. I try ^C and ^Z to no avail.. they
just echo ^C and ^Z.

	Any thoughts?

Thanks,
	Sameer
