I just ftp'd kermit for RS6000's (AIX) from watsun.cc.columbia.edu and I have a few questions for anyone who has done this successfully. I did get the ck4 version. I didn't see an RS6000 option in the make file. What is the proper system to make it for? I have tried 4 or 5 of the options and I do get it to make and execute but, When I try to set my line it hangs, sometimes requireing a interupt to get out. Which promptly drops back to the o.s. Or with other make options when it hangs it only requires a "\" to get back to the kermit prompt but I get the message: /dev/tty1: A system call received an interrupt. Sorry, can't open line: A system call received an interrupt. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Email all responses please. Thanks, Bryan -- Bryan M.

There's the problem -- you want ck5. It's on watsun, in the /kermit/sw directory. That's the one that knows about RS6000, and it compiled and worked fine for me on my Powerserver 530. It is an alpha version, but I didn't run into any problems with it. >What is the proper system to make it for? I was able to hack ck4 for the 6000 by using the SYS_V make option and replacing the tty lock/unlock routines with calls to the AIX library ttylock() and ttyunlock(). I still got errors about unable to set exclusive use, but everything worked. >/dev/tty1: A system call received an interrupt. >Sorry, can't open line: A system call received an interrupt. Do you have CNOTTY and O_NDELAY set in the open flags when kermit opens a remote line? This sounds similiar to why "tip" doesn't work with dialout modems. -- Ed Ravin | I'm sorry, sir, but POSTAL REGULATIONS don't allow cmcl2!panix!eravin | PLASTIC tape over PAPER tape and NYLON cord on an philabs!trintex!elr | 86 inch girth to LITHUANIA... +1 914 993 4737 |
