% grep ^sio /var/run/dmesg.boot

sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa
sio0: type 16550A
sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa
sio1: type 16550A

and
crw-rw----  1 uucp  dialer   28, 128 Apr 24 05:44 /dev/cuaa0
crw-rw----  1 uucp  dialer   28, 129 Apr 24 05:44 /dev/cuaa1
crw-rw----  1 uucp  dialer   28, 130 Apr 24 05:44 /dev/cuaa2
crw-rw----  1 uucp  dialer   28, 131 Apr 24 05:44 /dev/cuaa3

I've tried each cuaaX and still only cuaa1 will even let minicom startup.
With it being an internal modem I can normally hear it "click" as it opens
the port for dialing, but I don't hear anything.

Have I missed setting something up?

TIA,
Andy.
