This may be in some faq someplace so I appologize about this.  But I
am having some weird problems using the latest kermit and taylor to dial
out from my BSDI 1.1 based box.  The problems are similar in nature:

kermit:  when I set the line, it either hangs or get a "communications
disconnected message"  That is all!

taylor:  when trying to dial out, I get a read/write error to the port.


Now, I did discover that if I do an stty -f/dev/tty01 clocal, then taylor
will dial out.  But this only works 75% of the time.  If somebody logs in,
then I have to redo the clocal.  The clocal doesn't seem to do anything for
kermit.  Are all these problems related to the getty running on BSD???

thanks for any help,
Dave Scholten
