Yes, I discovered that ;)  So, I've gotten my -current kernel installed
(but I left the rest of userland for now.. takes a while to build this
 stuff).  However, now I'm getting errors about the serial link not
being 8 bit clean - "All received characters had bit 7 set to 0".

I did a bit of monkeying with stty but couldn't seem to make a
difference.  I keep having to hook the modem up to my wifes win2k
box to dial out, so I know it works ;)

Any ideas on that one?

Thanks for all your help!
