I am unable to do anything. Every time I use the kermit command 'set line tty00' It never comes back to let me connect. I have recompiled the kernel to have the "COM_BIDIR" define and am using the sio drivers for com1-com4. The ttys file has the following: tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" dialup off secure tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" dialup off secure Incidentaly, what software/config is needed to make the modem answer a call and login a user? I can't even do: echo "this is a test" >tty00 to see the modem lights. (only the TR light comes on.) I've tried "stty -f /dev/tty00 clocal" with no effect. I have searched the FAQs on this and have not found any solution there! I'd appreciate any help! Paula
