Try /dev/com0.

Connecting should not be a problem. However, once you have connected
you will run into a bug (which I suspect is in the tunnel device) and
large data (> 64k) transfers will block.

There are the AT commands which you can issue via, e.g. minicom.

One of the problems is that I do not have a modem and have never
actually tested this part of the code -- I normally test using ppp
over a serial cable between two computers. So, I think it is pretty
evident why I am not the best ppp maintainer.

The problem is that you need to be able to get a the control port to
the pfinet server. This can only be done by either root or the owner
of /servers/socket/2, which is by default, root.
