   Put this in your /etc/remote file:

	   modem:dv=/dev/cua01:br#57600:pa=none

   Use cuaa1 if you're running FreeBSD 2.0.5.  And use whatever bps rate
   works for `br#'.  Then type

	   tip modem

   and use AT commands to dial.  Also see the FAQ entry on serial
   communications at

	   http://www.freebsd.org:80/How/faq/freebsd-faq-66.html#66

After upgrading to 2.0.5-ALPHA tip is not handling my modem nicely (I worked
in fine in a prior SNAP.  I have a internal modem based on the Rockwell 
Chipset.  My first observation was that "hayes" is no longer a builtin 
modem definition.  So I found out about /etc/modems and tried to define 
a default config in there.  "tip netcom" would cause the modem to hangup 
and then dial.  As soon as the dial completed it would hang up the modem 
and therefore not connect.  If I just tip to the modem and dial by hand 
(ie atdt number) everything works just fine.  

So has anyone ran into troubles with the new tip and also the web page
doc doesn't talk about the /etc/modems file.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
