Hmm; if you have specific suggestions, please send them to
<www@netbsd.org>.  We'll do our best to fix the docs.  Please
understand that good docs are a community effort:  The people who
write the software have a hard time guessing what things will (and
won't) be obvious to the users.  They need you to tell them.

There is; it's the com0 line.  Those two lines are from the NetBSD
boot messages, right?  Your modem takes over the interrupt and I/O
space of your built-in serial port, and it looks pretty much like a
serial port itself.  So NetBSD advertizes it to you as a serial port.

To see if this is the right thing, you could use kermit or minicom
(both in pkgsrc), or you could use cu.  I've never liked cu, but it
does work.  If you can connect to that port (/dev/tty00) and send "at"
and get back "OK", then you've got the right one.
