The problem comes when kermit tries to do a 'set line' (which I assume it
does in /root/.script). It can't 'cos slattach has it open. Three
alternatives:
1. set up a script to do the above two lines (allowing nice things like
re-dials etc.).
2. Use 'chat'. This prog logins on via stdin/stdout which slattach very
conveniently sets up as the com port before executing.
3. Screw around with clocal on your tty - not the correct way.
One other point... don't you find kermit hangs ('till you press ^c) on
tty0? ?
