Dear Stable,    

    Okay, I got another modem.  Couldn't find PCI as fast as ISA,
so I got an ISA.

    Now my system can find sio2 and configure /dev/cuaa2.

    I tried to just take a baby step to try things out.  I figured
to run ppp manually to see if things are connecting at all.
'ppp' seems to start up ppp ON correctly ["Working in interactive mode"].
'term' seems to have read my ppp.conf file, since it knows to connect
to /dev/cuaa2.
Now I try a simple 'AT' command to see if the modem can hear my typing.

The echo of the modem seems to lag 1 character behind.  That is, I only
see the A after I type the T, and I only get the T after I hit Enter.
Modem responds OK.

More trouble:
ATDT 5120027   This dials up my provider modem, but

*Unless* I hit Enter, few characters come through.
Error message:
... /kernel: sio2: 1 more silo overflow (total 1)

Each time I hit enter, a few more characters come through, until login:

   I stop here to write for help, because this doesn't look ready for
real communication.

   This is a FreeBSD 3.4-RC system.
