that is exactly what i have, except the vt320 is hooked on (and defined
on) ttyS0, and the tektronix is not hooked at all (yet) so the rest of
ttyS(1 to 8) is marked off. I figured i would get the vt320:s working
first, and then move on to the "odd" hardware =)

/dev/ttyS0 is talking to the vt320 in kermit, so that must be correct.

I didnt know i needed to give any "ttyflags" command, but i rebooted the
machine (using "reboot")
