*thinking* my -current MAKEDEV still has the ttyB1 and ttyBm1
(for blocking/nonblocking). However, the nonblocking devices have been
regularized, and might be more picky about carrier signal than they used to
be.
If you don't have CD wired, you should try /dev/ttyBm1 instead.
Uhm... I assume, as you didn't write otherwise, that you still see the
driver attaching in the kernel startup messages?
