Thank you for your reply, and sorry for intrrupting your work. But,
it is not still clear for me, and I'd like to ask the novice question
again.

1. THE END
I'd like to launch the ppp session from my SE/30 to other machines.

2. CURRENT STATE
I have to make sure my SE/30 can communicate with the modem via the
Macintosh configuration cable.

First, I typed the following without any modems nor the cables.
-----
/etc/remote:
com0b:dv=/dev/tty00:br#9600:
-----

I:	% tip com0b
SE/30:	connected

Then, I connected the modem with the Macintosh-configuration-
modem-cable to the modem port.

SE/30:	lost carrier
SE/30:	[EOT]

So, I'd like to ask the following novice question.

3. QUESTION
o Is it possible to communicate with the modem via the Macintosh
configuration cable from the NetBSD 1.1 on SE/30?

o If not, should I change the cable configuration to the RS232-compatible?
