I'm having problems getting a magma 4 port serial card to work on a
simple, small scale dial-in server.  I'm running the generic 1.5 kernel,
and 1.5 userland.  The card is in a SS2.  During boot I see:

...
magma0 at sbus0 slot 1 offset 0x0 level 7 softpri 6: Magma 4 Sp
mtty0 at magma0: 4 ttys
...

I've made sure I have the device files:

 cd /dev  && sh MAKEDEV magma0

I enabled them in /etc/ttys:

tty00   "/usr/libexec/getty ppp.57600"  unknown on
tty01   "/usr/libexec/getty ppp.57600"  unknown on
tty02   "/usr/libexec/getty ppp.57600"  unknown on
tty03   "/usr/libexec/getty ppp.57600"  unknown on


I also tried std.9600 for the setting.  I did 'kill -1 1' and also 
later tried rebooting the machine.  When i dial in, the modem picks up,
but I never see a login prompt.  Now I'm at a bit of a loss on how to
proceed.  I'm sure the cables are correct because this setup worked (when
the software wasn't crashing) under solaris before I nuked it and rebuilt
the machine with netbsd.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
