Hi there, I am trying to set up Kermit on our HP 9000 series 200/300 computers but I'm running into few problems. Our HPs are running HP Basic and are equipped with HP 98644 serial cards. When I run Kermit, I am able to execute all Kermit commands ok, but in the terminal emulation mode all I get is a blinking cursor and no response from the other side. The "other side" is a Local Area Transport (LAT) port operating at 9600 baud with 8 N 1 con- figuration. I have set up Kermit in the same way. Now, according to the manual, blinking cursor and a functioning local echo indicate that all is well with the serial port. This prompted me to examine connections but I still got no response with or without null modem the only difference being that *without* null modem I didn't even get the blinking cursor. An additional side effect of Kermit is that it seems to set the HP terminal so that it does not issue LF characters so after using Kermit when I do CAT the output looks garbled. I haven't found a way to fix that other than by doing cold reboot. Would anyone out there know what is going on or what I am doing wrong ? Any hints and/or comments will be appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter, Sincerely, John Duchowski

Try doing: PRINTER IS CRT after exiting from Kermit to reset the default values. If this doesn't work, SCRATCH A _should_ fix it. Hope this helps.
