I just installed the new version of FreeBSD...
The install in general went very well, and was actually
quite simple...  But, now, in installing XFree2.1, I have
hit a slight snag.  I can't figure out how to get the
com ports working.  I am used to hvaing "com" in the /dev
directory (from NetBSD 0.9).  Supposedly tty0* is supposed
to take the place of com*, right?  It doesn't seem to work
though...

Any insight on this would be appreciated...
(apologies if it is simple - sounds like I am missing 
something basic).


Thanks,
