Although the documentation does say this, it is incorrect. With
my multi-port board, I use the modem-control tty's (in the Digiboard's
case, ttyi1A-ttyi1H) to talk to my modems with no problems.

Do you mean that the modem doesn't cycle even when the user
sends a BREAK character? I've noticed similar results, but telling users
to hit BREAK (or their comm program's equivalent) works. I haven't
been able to get the modem to cycle automatically - I'm not sure if it's
possible under Xenix.
