I know this is getting old.

I have a ZOOM 56kFlex internel plug and play modem that I've finaly gotten
NetBSD 1.3 i386 to recognize.

minicom "connects" to it but it appears as if the modem does not
respond at all.

tip exits whenever I press a key...

valhalla# tip com0a
can't open log file /var/log/aculog.
connected

Lost carrier.
