Set your port speed to 38400 and use /dev/ttydfa (or dfb) in
/etc/ttys.  **Make sure you have a hardware handshaking cable that is
exactly as described in the documentation - a Mac cable will not
work!**  Also make sure the modem keeps the port speed locked at 38400
regardless of the connection speed.

When using szrz, use the -1 switch...
