The same thing would happen with Minicom, Seyon, cu, etc. I'm not a Linux
system administration expert, but you probably have to create and configure
the serial devices somehow. I'm sure the exact procedure varies from one
Linux distribution (and version) to the next. Start with the Linux
Serial-HOWTO:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Serial-HOWTO.html
Once you've figured this out, be sure to give the C-Kermit binary the
appropriate owner, group, and permissions so it can access the serial device.
These are normally the same as cu:
$ whereis cu
cu: /usr/bin/cu /usr/man/man1/cu.1
$ ls -ldga /usr/bin/cu
-r-sr-sr-x 1 uucp uucp 127924 Aug 23 1999 /usr/bin/cu
