You should be able to Ctrl-C out of this situation (trying to start a file
transfer through a port that is connected to nothing), and you can do so on
a normal PC. If you can't on your handheld unit, I think that indicates a
difference between it and a regular PC.
Everything looks OK in your settings above, but that doesn't prove anything.
First of all, I can't tell from your messages whether you have ever had any
kind of successful communication with MS-DOS Kermit on this unit. For
example, does terminal emulation work? You said in an earlier message that
you have MS-DOS Kermit on a PC on the other end of the connection. So did
you follow the instructions on pages 37-40 of "Using MS-DOS Kermit"? If not,
please do -- they explain exactly how to set up and test this kind of
connection.
If you did, but still make no progress, then I can only refer you again to
the troubleshooting section of "Using MS-DOS Kermit" and to the KERMIT.BWR
file, that goes into great detail about solving basic communication
problems: the cable, the port, the interface speed, the IRQs, and so on.
