[comp.sys.att] Kermit configuration on 3b1 Unix PC

khioe@mona.Jpl.Nasa.Gov (Kent Hioe) (08/28/90)

Hi, Does any body know the correct configuration of kermit setup on
ATT 3B1 Unixpc ?

I just installed kermit for 3B1 (from Ohio-state-U's archive). I tried to
run it with the setup:

	 set baud 1200
	 set line internal (also hayes)
     set device /dev/ph1


The above kermit setup did not work when I tried to dial. I got timeout after 
35 seconds later.

Would any one know the correct kermit setup for 3B1 kindly e-mail it to me ?

Thanks for your help.

Lenny has just added kerit 5a(154) to the OSU archive.  Here's an
excerpt from my .kermrc.  The macro reset is used to get the "standard"
characters back when I've been switched to the alternate character set by
line noise.  The macro unlock is used to reset the line to /dev/tty and
hence release any lock files kermit might be holding on ph1 or tty000.
(Kermit aquires the lock when you "set line..." and keeps it until you
do another, or quit.)  The macro call is just an alias for either dial_int
or dial_ext (which do the real work of dialing out).  Finally macros like
"hostname" allow you to dial that host by just typing "hostname".

If /usr/spool/uucp is not world writable, then kermit needs to be setuid
to the owner of /usr/spool/uucp.  It can't be setuid root though (it won't
run if it detects this).

For the real information on kermit, get ckuker.ann or ckuker.doc from
watsun.cc.columbia.edu (in the directory kermit/sw).  The "help" command
in kermit itself will be able to tell you a great deal as well.

	Using Kermit on a 3b1/7300/Unix PC
	set line /dev/ph0	or ph1		ensure it's in DATA mode
	set modem att				use the AT&T internal modem
	set speed 1200
	etc.
You might check the version of C Kermit. The last formal release was 4E and
the current beta test is 5A. I wrote the dialer for the Unix PC in CKermit
4F and 5A and it's been revised around it recently.
