I cannnot seem to find the way to do any auto-dialing with Kermit. I load a program I wrote myself and login to the system and as soon as the login is sucessful, I cycle the power on the C-64 and boot Kermit. It works OK, I guess.

Well, it's not your fault that you can't find any way to autodial with Kermit, because there isn't any. Except for major changes to the screen drivers and a few minor things elsewhere, Kermit 2.0 is largely the same as the versions that went before it... the earlier versions were meant mainly as file transfer utilities, not as general purpose terminal programs, so no support for autodialing was ever added. As far as I know, autodialing is not on the list of improvements for the next release of C-64 Kermit. You can suggest it, though. But I don't think that a full autodialer will ever be added... perhaps a command like "dial 555-1234" might be included, but that would hardly be better than going to terminal mode and typing ATDTwhatever (since you indicated you use a Hayes modem). > I load a program I wrote myself and login to the system and as soon as > the login is sucessful, I cycle the power on the C-64 and boot Kermit. > It works OK, I guess.

Perhaps you could try having your program LOAD and RUN the main Kermit program... it will LOAD just fine without the autoboot loader, and it can be RUN directly. If your dialing program is in BASIC, just end it with a LOAD"KERMIT",8... > Also, Why does my unix vax say that the Termcap for vt100 not have a sysline > ability? Can Someone send me their .login that works with the normal sysline? I'm not sure whether a real VT-100 actually has a status line or not, but the regular Unix termcap file does not recognize it regardless. Anyway, the required stuff to add oon to the VT-100 termcap definition is: "hs:ts=\E7\E[m\E[25;0H:fs=\E8:ds=\E7\E[25;0H\E[2K\E8" You need to add this to the regular VT-100 definition. You can either do it on the fly with a statement in your .login, or create a separate entry. I prefer the latter method, as I have built up a library of terminal definitions for various C-64 and C-128 programs, and various configurations of those programs (i.e. one with reverse video, one with high intensity, etc.). Or you can get your system administrator to add another entry to the master termcap file, for "VT-100 with status line". > I enjoy seeing a little more traffic on this newsgroup....
