I realize I should give more information.

I'm running NetBSD 1.3, and the modem's serial port probes correctly
at boot time. It's only if I try to do any I/O to the modem that it
seems nothing gets through. Using kermit, it appears that stuff gets
neither to nor from the modem.

Deciding that maybe the port-specific FAQ was simply wrong, I
experimented with a kernel config that used IRQ 2 for the modem's
serial port. That didn't work either.
