Local sys is SCO xenix 286. I am using the binary from the
\unix\sco\xenix dir (kermit5)
Thanks. I shortened the block and the script now runs. However, the
new problem: after the remote sys (win95, procomm 32 in host mode)
answers, ":they" (I think local kermit) disconnect immediatley. I've
used kermit5 in termianl mode and have connected and interacted
successfully Shold the following code work:
:begin
set modem type multitech
set line /dev/tty1a
set speed 9600
;...........set carrier-watch on;(enable if having problems)??
set dial retries 15
set dial timeout 65
set dial connect on
echo \13
:dialout
echo \13
dial t1800xxxxxxxx4\13
Local receives CONNECTED 14400 RELIABLE COMPRESSED
CALL COMPLETE (time)
Another question...The remote uses hardware fc, local kermit uses
software fc and does not seem to accept the set flow command. Does
this mean the remote must be changed to software fc?
Thanks for the help!
