I had the TCP/IP control panel assign itself an IP. I did change this
to have the "server" (NetBSD box) to assign it an IP, but I still get
the same results.

Needs to be "8N1"? What's that?

Hmmm... the Mac is a PowerMac using OT/PPP, not FreePPP and MacTCP.
However, it sounds like we've got about the same thing. For the modem I
selected NULL Modem 19200 (NetBSD's options.tty00 is set to 19200 also)
because there's no 38400 null modem script (???).

Yes. If that wasn't configured, could I even get a PPP connection? I
get the connection and can ping, just TCP doesn't work.
