i am having some difficulties setting the modem line for kermit and
tip.

i have a supra v.32bis on com2 (dos). i looked in the /dev directory
and i saw 4 ttys namely, tty01 2 3 and 4. 

is tty01 the same as com2 ? 

this device has the following permission :

crw------- 

and is owned by uucp. the minor major on this device is 28 0. 

i set up tip and tried to dial out to a unix system and all i get is a
modem light that goes on for a while and then off. the system then
hangs unril i do ~. to exit tip. 

i also set up kermiit and when i do 

set line /dev/tty01 

the system hangs also, and the modem light remains on. 

any idea what's going on here ? 

thanks in advance.

Ramzi
