I'm having the "unknown host" problem; and I've never connected via a
serial port.  What application is used to connect via the serial port?
Cu, minicom and screen do not appear to be available on the restore
cd.  Can anyone point me to a How-To for this? The networking how-to's
on the NetBSD site seem to focus on ethernet networking.

Thanks,
