Yeah, everything was clean.

Check.

Check.

As a baseline, I'm trying to get tip to work before I look at pppd.  The
/etc/remote file has the following entry:

  ucd:\
    :dv=/dev/tty00:br#9600:du:cu=/dev/tty00:at=hayes:pn=7527925

and the command I'm trying is "tip ucd".  Seems pretty plain-vanilla to
me.

I'll do a re-install of base12 tonight if I'm still stuck.

If I haven't noticed it, I can't tell you that it's wrong. ;)  Everything
seems okay.

Yup:

  zstty0 at zsc0 channel 0
  zstty1 at zsc0 channel 1

No further info from either of them.

Nope, this is my first time with NetBSD and I just grabbed the formal 1.2
distribution.
