It would be of special interest to me to remove this problem... But I have a "workaround": When you invoke kermit with a kermrc that uses the same com-port as slattach, the hung condition is overcome. When it hangs again, I just kill kermit... it resolves ... when it hangs again I restart kermit .... I can tell you this is really annoying and if at all only tolerable when using slip while working on the system... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lars Grupe UID lunde <lunde@cs.tu-berlin.de> Technische Universitaet Berlin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
