Shouldn't have to -- hit <enter> <tilde> <period> and wait, or hop over to
another vty and kill off tip.

Well, it looks like you picked the serial port your mouse is connected to

You'll need to buid a new kernel with

controller pnp0

to get started.  Hopefully that will pick up your modem.  If it doesn't,
you'll need to fish out the device ID for the modem and plug it into the
table in /sys/i386/isa/sio.c around line 2100 -- look for `Supra1201'.
