I've made the tip-related FAQ fixes and also am having no luck using a
modem.  I've also tried kermit from the etc01 distribution with no success.

I have an old but working Racal Vadic VA3451 modem signed out from work.
At 1200 baud, I even tied the handshaking lines together just to see what
I'd get, and I got nothing!

Is it a com1 driver problem or, more likely, an operator problem?
Does anyone have any tip tips?  (By the way, the mouse on the 9-pin com1 port
works just fine under XFree86.)

Thanks.
