Both sio0 and sio1 are detected as 16550A's at boot-time. As for an external modem or mouse, I don't know. I'd have to (gasp) turn it off to change the 25-pin serial with the 9-pin serial to test a mouse. > If they're talking correctly, you should be able to run > "cu -s 9600 -l /dev/cuaa1" (without getty running on the line) > and type to the terminal, and vice-versa.
