That reminds me...

I've also tried accessing my modem from my freshly-installed NetBSD.
What happened was this: After running "cu -l mdm02 dir", `cu' reported
"Connected", but when typing any character, it immediatly said "cu:
write: Input/output error" and exited (in some cases it even bombed
with a segmentation fault and hanged until killed from another
terminal).

Two other unrelated observations:

The /etc/ttys line defines my virtuals as "vt200", but there's no
"vt200" terminal definition in /usr/share/misc/termcap.  This should
be changed to "vt220".

At one time I had "MMU error" panics during the boot process; reboots
didn't help.  The problem persisted until I power-cycled the machine.
