And I connect at a DTR of 115200, as I did with an 8250 serial chip -
although this did lose some packets. I built kermit from source with
no problems.
Try
$ kermit
kermit> set line /dev/cuaa0
kermit> set sp 115200
kermit> show com
that's assuming you've got a modem that can DTR at 115200 - otherwise
try 57600 - most 14400 modems will only do 57600.
