I'm trying to connect to an ISP using PPP.  My modem is on COM3
so in ppp.conf I have a line in the default that says "set device
/dev/cuaa2".  When I invoke ppp and enter "term" it comes back with
"can't open the modem".  I know the modem works on com3 because I'm
dual booting with WFW 3.1 and I can boot windows and dial out on it.
Any clues on how to fix this?
Thanks,
John Fleming
