I think that NetBSD 1.3.2 requires com3 devices to use irq 5.
I tried using com3, irq3 and it didn't like it.
Also a limit of two com port devices
Maybe different on v1.4

	cu is part of the Taylor UUCP package and I believe there is info
docs which
	describe how to set this stuff up correctly, but my quick 'n' dirty
hack
	is to add the softcar flag to the standard /etc/ttys line.
