All,
I've been having similar problems to y'all WRT Kermit.
When I try to set line /dev/com0, it waits forever. It will go through if
I send it a signal.
Then, it will connect as usual, but it will only look like garbage on the
screen. I use it with /dev/com2, a hardwired cable, and it works fine.
The /dev/com0 is an internal 14400 modem w/ a 16550. The com2 is a 16450.
Kermit is suid to uucp, and /dev/tty0? is rw only for uucp.
What does everyone else do to get it to work?
BTW, my tty00 has the clocal flag appended in /etc/ttys ie "on secure
clocal"
Mark
