I am installing FreeBSD on my PC as a learning experience, so 
please excuse this if my question is dumb.
	While attempting to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 over a PPP connection I 
can't seem to get the 'user process ppp' to communicate with my modem.  
The only commands I can issue in 'term' mode are '~p' and '~.', and even 
those aren't echoed on the screen.  I am using a US Robotics sportster 
28.8 internal on COM2, IRQ 3.
	Thank you.
