The problem is that 'set line /dev/tty00' sort of hangs kermit. Depending on the incarnation of Kermit, a Ctrl-'\' may or may not help. It will break me out no matter what, but depending on the Kermit it sometimes will break out without having set the line. Regardless, this won't help me when running it from a script. I thought that this might be hardware related, but I tried it with both a 16450 and a 16550 with the same results. I had no problems with this under netBSD with the same hardware configuration. Why can't I do it under FreeBSD???? -Steve
