I finally upgraded from NetBSD 0.8 to 0.9.  I had Chris' comm driver in
my 0.8 kernel and everything was just nifty.  I noticed that 0.9 has a
bug where it doesn't send a SIGHUP to any processes that are hanging on
a dialup tty if carrier is lost.  Did I just not put the magic line in
the /etc/tty or /etc/gettytab to have this happen or is there some
patch or hack to the source to get this to occur?

Thanks...
Tim
