Hi again,
I just obtained Kermit-5a. It seems to be working ok.
Btw, does any one know where I can get the source (the
"generic" kind, not NeXT-oriented)? I'd like to put it
on my Ultrix machine at work.
I've tried using kermit repetitively now for a little while.
It seems to be ok. I changed the escape character to
^] (ascii 29), and I can escape back to my local kermit
(NeXT side) (previously I couldn't with escape character
^\ [ascii 28]). I'm also using kermit as a generic user,
not root.
So in summary,
1. use /dev/cua to dial out, no change is necessary
to this file
2. in my case, I turned off my ttyda getty,
(ttyda "usr/etc/getty D2400" vt100 off
in /etc/ttys file), so I guess I can't dial in, but
can finally dial out w/out flaky behavior.
3. using kermit, use
chown uucp kermit
chgrp wheel kermit
chmod u+s kermit
4. configure your modem:
at &c1 &d2 &w0
ought to work for hayes-type modems
(basically setting up DTR and DCD behavior)
I have a DoveFax 24/96Fax modem. Seems to work
nicely. Haven't tried faxing yet.
I think that's about it. It seems to me there's no
difference whether you use serial port a or b.
Thanks to all who helped out. Appreciate it.
Andrew

I have a simple problem that's been troubling me for some time. I began using my Hayes-compatible (EasyData) modem with tip, two years ago and it worked okay. I subsequently switched to kermit. When Tip dialed out I was able to configure it so that it used tone instead of pulse dialing, but kermit makes my modem use pulse dialing. Can this be changed easily? I am currently running kermit 5A, but I have the older versions around also. Shane -- ------------------------------------------------------- Why waste bandwidth on signatures?

I just wanted to add that I have run an old version of kermit under 1.0a, 2.0, and 2.1 (now) through /dev/cua while having a getty running on /dev/ttyda, and never had any problems with anything. Perhaps this does have to do with modems asserting things, etc. I have a Patriot 2400e Hayes-Compatible modem. My kermit? "C-Kermit, 4F(094) 19 Aug 89, 4.2 BSD" is what it says. ___________________________________________________________________________ Douglas Scott zardoz!doug%woof.columbia.edu
