This problem probably requires some knowledge of both kermit and Xenix
to solve: I've used a 2400 baud modem for years with Xenix (now 2.3.4g) to
dial up from home to a Sun in my lab. As I have to go through an additional
level of logging in to get onto the network my machine is on, I use a script.
I'm trying out a Practical Peripherals 14,400 V.32bis modem now and find that
my script is won't work. Worse than that, although I can send a single modem
command to the modem from kermit (such as +++ or ATZ), there is no reply "OK".
Despite this, I can use the kermit's dial command to dial the network and
then reach my own machine by hand. Downloads and uploads work fine. I've
tried setting the speed to 2400 and 9600 without changing this behaviour.
Strangely, the script works perfectly well under MSDOS (same machine but
using MS-Kermit (3.11) instead of C-Kermit (5A(189)).
The only other thing I can think of that might be relevant is that rts/cts
flow control doesn't seem to be available on the C-Kermit. I did try
the xenix command "stty ctsflow rtsflow", but that didn't help.
Here is the .kermrc file:
set modem hayes
set line /dev/tty2A
;set speed 2400
;set speed 9600
set file type binary
;set file names literal
; M0 below turns the speaker off; S0 would set it to low
set dial init-string ATM0Q0S2=43\{13}
set send timeout 60
set receive timeout 60
;take getme2.ccs
Any suggestions will be much appreciated. I have the C-Kermit book, but
little expertise in these matters.
Many thanks,
