[comp.os.minix] Request for help with kermit

ast@cs.vu.nl (Andy Tanenbaum) (12/12/88)

I am still trying to get kermit on MINIX to talk to kermit on my SUN.
The SUN kermit gives core dumps from time to time, and nothing works at all
with packets > 90 bytes.  Both kermits were generated from the MINIX kermit
source.  Any ideas anyone?

The adb of the SUN core dump gives the following output for $c:
_strlen(?)
_debug(0x7,0x20e4c,0x0,0x54) + 8
_input() + 4e
_wart() + e
_proto() + 1ec
_main(0x1,0xefffea0,0xefffea8) + 92

My .kermrc on the SUN is:

set file type bin
set file name lit
set prompt SUN kermit> 
log packets
log debugging
log session
log transactions
server

All the log files are null except debug.log, which is:

The core dump happens immediately, as I escape back to MINIX.
