/dev/cuaa3 isn't being detected on boot.  My modem is there, so I
cannot ppp from my bsd side.  Basic message:
stty -f /dev/cuaa3 -a 
"Bad file name" (paraphrasing from my short term memory)

bsd is detecting the mouse at COM0 and something I don't recognize
at COM1 (speed is 9600 if that is a clue).

Booting to linux confirmed the first two COMs and showed the modem
on COM3.

There was an odd thing in the linux dmesg:
ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
ttyS3 at 0x02e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

(where ttyS == cuaa -- I'd give the bsd dmesg too if it didn't require 
two reboots)

Could I have had an IRQ conflict all this time and just not noticed?
