Hello,
Just a quick question. Has anyone run into problems with kermit in
establishing a connection to /dev/modem with "set line"? It just
hangs until I pull out the serial cable and then I can set the speed,
plug in the cable, and connect to it. Everything seems to work great
under Mac OS communication programs. Could it be a hardware problem?
Thank you in advance,

Sorry, I forgot to include some system information:
System (from MacEnvy):
MACII with PMMU
8 Mbytes Mem.
ROM Version 256k (version 120), rev 2.
A/UX 2.0 CD version
Cable:
Signal GND (pin 4)
Rec Data Inverted (pin 5)
Transmit Data Inverted (pin 3)
Handshake IN (Pin 1) tied to Handshake OUT (pin 2)
Have tried with and without Pin 1 and Pin 2 tied together
Thank you,

I have also experienced problems using the serial port under A/UX 2.0. Basically, I was messing around with VersaTerm Pro, which works fine under the MacOS, while in A/UX 2.0 and found that I would get a prompt from the MICOM, but nothing I typed appeared in the window. I then tried to get out to the MICOM through the serial port using Kermit. I did set line... which was accepted, as was set speed ..., but when I connected the first character I typed caused an error message ".. I/O error .." ( I don't have the exact text here). Sometimes I actually got as far as to login to the mainframe, but after a couple of commands, it would bomb out and give that error message again. Apple said that it was awfully wierd. The VersaTerm Pro people said that there wass something strange with the serial ports on the IIfx under AU/X 2.0. I'm waiting for Apple to log in and rummage around my system to see if they can find something. I'll let you know if the solve this because it may be connected to this other serial port problem. Also, if anyone else has experienced this and solved it, let me know! I have a IIfx with 8MB. No probs under MacOS, mucho probs under A/UX 2.0. Kevin

I received some e-mail from several people. Thank you.
Peter Espen suggested to try "stty -n /dev/tty0 -modem"
Thanks Peter, this cleared up my kermit problem.
Thank you for your replys,
