Here's da deal: I've got the most recent Kermit from columbia, the one that uses the OBM on the 3b1. It dials out just fine, but exits like shit. From what I can tell, it isn't hanging up the phone. An "init q" seems to fix things up just fine if the ph1 entry in /etc/inittab is: ph1:2:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t60 ph1 1200 Note the leading space instead of a ":". Anyway. Any phone gurus fixed this yet? Pointers on how to fix if you haven't? I've gotten many requests for me to email the kermit w/OBM support sources. If I can get the hanging up of the OBM fixed, I plan on posting the sources to unix-pc.sources. Email your help, and I'll summarize anything useful. -- J.

It does its job fine except 1) it sometimes takes a few seconds to exit but otherwise proper, and 2) if invoked from the phone manager, the current working directory will be somewhere other than where it was. Anyway, I didn't bother much since mostly I ran kermit directly from the shell. Another thing is that getty on the line to be used must be turned off before kermit can run (I learned this from a person in this group). I didn't put the getty on/off stuff into the kermit code though. Instead, I made a shell script to take care of that and then run kermit. The shell script also does the same thing as 'cu' does, i.e., search the first available line in the 'L-devices' file if the 'line' is not given on the command line, get modem and baud information from 'L-devices' and set them accordingly. I guess the reason I choose to control getty outside kermit is to be consistant with the Telephone Manager. I have integrated kermit into the User Agent system and the getty stuff is controlled by the tel-mgr. Send me an E-mail if you are interested and I'll send you a copy of the source code along with some instructions.
