I have also had some minor problems with the version of kermit that i pulled off of FreeBSD.cdrom.com /pub/FreeBSD/tools/, namely, Kermit claims that it " can't initialize modem " on any port other then /dev/tty00 or /dev/tty01. This grows somewhat stranger when one considers that the problem changed depending on the modem i was using! Using my friend's 14,400 the command " set line /dev/tty whatever " would hang indefinetly(sp!!) and would require a ^C to get my kermit prompt back. Strangely, if i used the set speed command afterwards it would indicate that the desired line had been succesfully opened! If i attempted to dial out on any other line then /dev/tty00 or 01 i would get the " can't initialize modem ". Using my trusty Practical Periph. 2400, i can get the kermit prompt back without any problems. However, i still can't dial out on any line other then /dev/tty00 or /dev/tty01 i hope this can be solved! i use my /dev/tty01 for my mouse and /dev/tty00 for the interface for my TI-85 calculator! i wish u all a most excellent day! john utz spaz@hardy.u.washington.edu
