I have forgotten how to kermit directly to my SLC's ttya port.
I tried 

% kermit -l /dev/ttya -b 9600

but it gave me a permission denied error.  Could someone please
help me?

Thanks

RE:  % kermit -l /dev/ttya -b 9600

You have to be root (superuser) to manipulate the tty lines in
this manner.


Also, make sure the ttya line is not enabled int he /etc/ttytab file.
If it is, it may cause probs.

BTW, this works real well on my 3/260!

Good Luck,

Rick
