Greetings, all. I've been trying to get my modem to work under FreeBSD 1.5.1.1.
I can use it with kermit, but after I enter set line /dev/tty01 kermit
won't do anything till I press ^C. I would guess that the reason for this is the
same one as the one for seyon, which I got from a 'package', (it's a terminal
program for X..) to say that it can't access the modem (it isn't very specific
about the problem). I tried this:
stty -f /dev/tty01 clocal
and this:
stty -f /dev/tty01 -clocal
both of which yield no error and have no effect on the modem's operation:
seyon still can't use it and kermit needs a ^Cto get it going again.
What's the problem here?
