Hello,

I'm trying to run ppp via a PCMCIA modem. In dmesg.boot it is listed
as:

com3 at pcmcia0 function 0: serial device
com3: ns16550a, working fifo

It seems to be located at /dev/tty03. At least cu can reach it
there.

The problem is ppp always gets BUSY while pppd does work and ppp on
FreeBSD works as well.

The chat part of ppp looks like:

 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER ABORT NO\\sDIALTONE TIMEOUT 5 \
           \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"


So why does ppp get BUSY immediately while pppd does work?
