OK, I got the various peices of kermit for UNIX/C with "#ifdef's" for
an Apollo. Compiled it and ran it.
It currently has two problems:
1) It looks for a include file called "default_acl.h"-- there is
nothing on the machine by that name. :-(
(I commented this out, and a "defaultacl()" call so it could compile)
2) Everytime I try to do a "set line /dev/sio" it says
"line is not a typewriter". What does this mean?
Does anybody have any ideas? or a site which has a working kermit for
Apollo DN 3000 w/bsd4.3 ?
Thanks.

I'm sure, someday :-), it will get an address out of range error. 2) With the particular kermit you picked up (I fetched mine from adus.ecn.uiowa.edu), you have to give the full path to the sio's (/sys/node_data/dev/sio1...) but I also believe I had to use /sys/node_data/dev/tty01 instead of sio1 to get it to work but I don't remember.

What does this mean? Why are you trying to set the line to "/dev/sio". If you are dialing out you want "sio[123]". If you are dialing in you shouldn't need anything. -kee -- Alphalpha Software, Inc. | motif-request@alphalpha.com nazgul@alphalpha.com |----------------------------------- 617/646-7703 (voice/fax) | Proline BBS: 617/641-3722 I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.

From the Apollo "Frequently Asked Questions" file (now available for ftp
from dabo.ifs.umich.edu):
Question: Why won't kermit compile (or run) on my Apollo?
Answer: There are some very old versions of kermit that have #ifdefs for
Apollo in them. These are no longer necessary with Domain/OS (they were
needed for previous versions of Aegis with Domain/IX). Get the standard
Unix kermit and use that.chris@asylum.gsfc.nasa.gov (Chris Shenton) (11/28/90)

What does this mean? Perhaps I am asking the impossible. I telnet'ed in to the Apollo, then ran Kermit. It complained ``/dev/tty is not a typewriter''. Can I Kermit over the ethernet? It worked just fine when I came in via modem and serial line, but it seems to me that it shouldn't care whether it's a real tty or a pseudo tty.
