I have peen playing with setting up Empire 2.2w (gotten off the abfcd
archive) on my system, for a few friends to play.  Everything seems to work
fine, except that, when I start up SEREmp, with DEVICE=modem0.device, it
freezes my machine.  After a warm reboot, my harddisk is validated (?), and
then everything is okay, but it makes me nervous...
 
If I tell it to start up on the serial.device, everything is dandy.  Is this
a known conflict, and is there anything to be done about it?

Thanks,
  -ken
