   Searching the news groups with deja news led me to an article that helped
   a little.

   It mentioned editing com_isapnp.c and adding to the test code...

in com_isapnp_match():

        if (strcmp(ipa->ipa_devlogic, "ROK0010") &&
+++         strcmp(ipa->ipa_devlogic, "OZO8039") && /* my zoom 56k flex */
            strcmp(ipa->ipa_devlogic, "BRI1400") && /* Boca 33.6 PnP */
            strcmp(ipa->ipa_devcompat, "PNP0500") && /* generic 8250/16450 */
            strcmp(ipa->ipa_devcompat, "PNP0501")) /* generic 16550A */
        return (0);

   Well my modem is now recognized and assigned to com2 (i.e. the third com
   device).  I have a device for tty02 and I am able to tip to it, sort of :) .

   The moment I press a key, tip says something like EOT and then quits.
 Weird.

   I am paraphrasing a little since I am not at that machine right now.

   Has anyone seen this?

   Thanks,

   Brad
