This may be a dumb question, but bear with me.  I just aqcuired a 
FreeBSD box, and immediately wanted to get a PPP connection up
and running.  Excellent, throw a modem on COM1 and test it out.
Unfortunately, I can't make FreeBSD find the modem.  Here's what
I'm doing:

# ppp
PPP Prompt> set line /dev/cuaa0
PPP Prompt> term
[Term started, etc.]


Then, nothing.  Nothing going to or from the modem.  I've tried 
/dev/cuaa1 and /dev/cuaa2 just to make sure my COM ports weren't
screwed up, but none of that works.  I know this is a good modem
(I use it on another machine). My question is: how can I tell if
FreeBSD is even detecting this modem?

Thanks for your time,
-S
