	I have an internal modem that I would like to set up on COM4
under Interactive 2.0.2. (It is currently working this way under msdos).
Referring to the asy(7) man page suggests that I need to create a 
/dev/tty* with a minor device number of 19 (to enable modem control on
port 4). Would the following work assuming 3 is the major device number
for tty00 ?

	mknod /dev/tty03 c 3 19

	It seems that I read somewhere that a convention is followed that
tty lines with modems contain capital letters. If so, what would be a
logical name, tty3A?
	After this, do I need to change the asy entry in some table in
/etc/conf? I know what IRQ and address the modem uses under dos and it
seems I would need to tell this to the asy driver somewhere.
	I apologize if these are frequently asked questions but I can't
seem to dig the answers out of the documentation I have.
