That's normal. Seems yours keystrokes tip successfully delivered to com2 port but no one can answer back, because com2 is not connected to any other equipment (bwy, I bet you've added com2 as an alias to real com device in your /etc/remote, right?).
It that case it looks like your system halted (or dead), but it's not true. If you are working from console, try <ALT><F2> or <ALT><F3> etc to switch to next virtual terminal and check/kill tip as an task in task list or use Terry's advise, - hit ~. to exit from tip (rtfm:).

When I connect with tip to port on which modem connected - server do not halt.
