I've had this happen to me.  The com driver is sensitive to XOFF (^S)
even when it is told to use RTS/CTS flow control (SET FLOW RTS/CTS in
kermit).  If you unprefix ^S and download a binary that contains a ^S,
the serial port hangs consistently.  This bug still exists in
NetBSD-current as of 1/24/94.
