Greetings,

 I am running the 1.5 snapshot, with a personally compiled kernel for the
SPARCbook (TADPOLE3GX config file)... on bootup I see the message:

 com0 at obio0 slot 0 offset 0x3a0000 level 13: ns16550a, working fifo

 I got the impression that this device was properly configured and perhaps
supported under NetBSD... is this so? And if so, what device does it
utilize on the system? (/dev/ttya?).. Does this device need to be turned
on by tadpolectl (I do not see an option for the modem but the serial
ports, and they seem to be on by default). 

 I plan on compiling minicom and giving it a shot...
