This perhaps belongs on -stable since I didn't check it until after
upgrading from 3.1-RELEASE to 3.1-STABLE, but I post it here in case this
is of more general interest.  My modem worked just fine all through the
2.2.x, and my upgrade from 2.2.6 -> 2.2.8 was accomplished by modem (due
to lack of a working ethernet card.)  Recently, I attempted to install
hylafax and this is when I first noticed the problem.  Running the setup
utilities failed to communicate with the modem.  I tried using ppp in term
mode and could not send commands to the modem, and I also tried kermit's
equivalent of term mode and had the same problem.  My modem is on sio1 and
my ppp is set up for /dev/cuaa1, which is where it has always worked.  I
also tried /dev/cuaa0 and had the same lack of success.  Here is what my
kernel config has (based on the man sio entry):

device          sio0    at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 
device          sio1    at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 

And here is dmesg

sio0: irq maps: 0x1 0x11 0x1 0x1
sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa
sio0: type 16550A
sio1: irq maps: 0x1 0x9 0x1 0x1
sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa
sio1: type 16550A

sio0 is where my serial mouse used to be until my MB was upgraded, and the
modem has been used since the upgrade so I doubt it is a hardware/bios
problem.  Have I misconfigured the kernel or did I just pick up some bad
sources?
