I don't think the bandwidth gods would object to the posting of a success

I'm not an SCO sysadmin expert and so can't comment. If you are initiating
the connection from Linux, the normal thing is to have a getty on SCO side,
but I have no idea how to configure the port for 38400 bps and RTS/CTS when
it's under getty's control. Since you can put your hands on both PCs at the
same time, your solution ("set line" on each of them) is fine, as long as
you can keep getty out of the picture.

That's because C-Kermit 7.0 has fast tuning by default, rather than
robustness, as previous versions did. When it works out of the box with
fast tuning, it's nice.
: Here's a question or two: why do I get a '?Login ignored' once I do login?
:
I have no idea -- I'm not sure exactly how you set up the connection.
But this is probably an SCO sysadmin thing rather than Kermit thing. Or did
you give the login command to Kermit? (If so, it wouldn't apply here -- it's
for logging in to the IKSD.)

:
It's still there, but Kermit couldn't find it. Every Linux distribution
has a different idea about where the curses library is and what it's called.
See the comments in the makefile and in ckuins.txt.

I like to think one of the attractions of Kermit is that you can get support.
