	Hi.  I'm having some problems with a no-name internal
modem that are baffling me, and I'm hoping to find some help.  I
recently started to need two serial ports in addition to my
modem, so I moved it to sio3 and irq 2/9, whereas it used to be
setup as sio1 irq 3.  Once I changed the modem over, FreeBSD
would no longer get decent transfer rates.  Pinging the remote
slip server would yield 300ms RTT's whereas I used to get 150ms
RTT's.  Ftp transfers dropped from around 2.3K/s to 800bps.  My
suspicion is that this is some sort of driver problem.

	Now, as some further datapoints - when I use win95, winNT
4.0, or (cringe) Linux, I get the expect transfer rates and RTT's
- this is what leads me to believe the problem is in the serial
driver.  I hope I'm not coming off as touting Linux or
threatening to switch - I'm very satisfied with FreeBSD and would
prefer to continue using it, but I need to figure out how to get
the modem working correctly again.  Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
