Subject: Switching from TCP to serial causes a problem

I am running C-kermit 6 (latest build) on AIX 4.
Everything has been working well for a time now.
But we have just added a Cisco modem bank (telnet access).
A problem arises when a user switches from using the modem bank to a regular
serial modem.
Here is the series of commands that get executed (from the beginning).
----
set host 132.147.1.2:7001 # This is to use the cisco modem bank.
dial ...
hangup
set line /dev/tty12 # This is to use a regular serial modem.
--------
At this point "show comm" reports that the speed of /dev/tty12 is "unknown".
All attempts to actually use /dev/tty12 lock up until kermit is exited.
If the "hangup" command is NOT used, then the set line works, and access to
tty12 is normal.
We are puzzled at this.
