G'day,

I have made the devices but all processes trying to attach to these
interfaces appear to be hanging.

When trying to access any output device by issuing the command
"kermit -c -l /dev/ttym81" the process will hang and any attempt to
exit kermit fails, this includes a "kill -9 <kermit-process>"
When looking at the process using the ps command it shows those
process marked as  "IE" (idle process trying to exit).

The same appears to happne using mgetty for the dialin lines...

Is there something else needing configuring? I am running
NetBSD-1.2B... 

Below some of the sysinfo:

card detected on bootup -

cy0 at isa0 iomem 0xd4000-0xd5fff irq 15 (8 ports)

the devices -
