I have investigated, and found the following bug.  VLT (v. 4.846) will crash
if you attempt to send a break to your Supre 2400zi.  This is independent of
the processor you use (68000 or 68030), and does not occur if you use the
serial.device.  Thus, I am leaning toward the possibility that the bug lies
in modem0.device, but I guess this hasn't been proved.  Does Supra have a
net.presence?  This bug is probably causing the problems that I reported
eariler between getty/VLT/modem0.device.  I am still looking for answers.
