   I am using NetBSD 0.9 (GENERICAHA) installed on wd1. My system has an
internal modem installed on DOS COM4 IRQ3. It works fine with DOS.
When I try to use it with NetBSD, it does not answer, that is:

    - I do
        kermit
        set line /dev/com3
        set speed 1200
        connect
         ...
        atdtXXXXXXXXXX         <- my number (to get busy)

    The "atdt" line is not echoed by the kermit, I listen the modem dialing, 
etc, it gets the busy tone, but nothing is shown.
    My GENERICAHA config file is (only the COM part):

   device          com0    at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector comintr
device          com1    at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector comintr
device          com3    at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq 3 vector comintr

    My mouse is at com0, nothing at com1 and com2 and the modem is at com3.
I have compiled the kernel with the default GENERICAHA before (changing wd0 to
wd1, of course) and the behavioring was the same.
    The /etc files are defaults.

    Any suggestions are welcome.
