I have been using KERMIT for years and years and am a fan. I have
bought the book and everything (I don't have it now though). Anyway the
minor problem I have is this: I have been using c-kermit 5A(189) for
OS/2 for quite awhile now. Appearently, the modem I was using raised
the carrier signal because it worked just fine. I just bought a new US
Robotics 14400 external modem today and hooked it up to my OS/2 machine.
Now, when I attempt to connect, I get a message "No Carrier" (or
something to that effect), and I can't connect to the modem. I have
done 'set ?' and various other commands looking for a fix - 'set carrier
on' doesn't do it.
I know I can just flip the modem dip switch to make carrier always on,
but this seems wrong. I have extensive experience in RS-232
communications and carrier is, in fact, suppose to be related to the
actual carrier signal between the connected modems. Why is kermit
looking for carrier before I've even dialed? Doesn't make sense! If
kermit wants to look for the presence of a DCE device, it should look at
Data Set Ready (DSR), not a signal which shouldn't be present until
connection. Any comments from anyone?
BTW - I am sending this message by flipping to a DOS window and dialing
out using MSKERMIT 3.01. This kermit doesn't get hung up on carrier :-)
(excuse the pun).
