From the i386 FAQ:

"PCMCIA modem does not appear to work (top) 

If you have a PCMCIA modem that does not appear to work, make sure you are using the com(4) device in hardware flow control mode. Many PCMCIA modems only work when using hardware flow control." 

That's great and all, but how do you configure the @#&*$*$ thing? I really like NetBSD, I really do, but the documentation is really lacking.

So, which device is com3? I have a Xircom modem, which seems to be ok.
com3 at pcmcia0 function 0 port 0x2e8-0x2ef: serial device

Now, how on earth do I test the line?
