This was discussed here in a thread that started on April 25th.
The hardware flow-control support for Solaris in Kermit was added a long
time ago -- at or before Solaris 2.3 -- and it worked fine. At some point
thereafter, I'm not sure when, maybe Solaris 2.4 or 2.5, Solaris's API for
hardware flow contol changed out from underneath Kermit. I didn't find out
about it until after C-Kermit 7.0 was released.
To get C-Kermit's hardware flow-control working right in recent Solaris
versions, you need to rebuild C-Kermit from source; cd to the C-Kermit
source-code directory, then:
make clean
make solarisXX KFLAGS=-DPOSIX_CRTSCTS
where "solarisXX" is the appropriate makefile target (solaris25, solaris26,
solaris7, solaris8, etc, or if you have gcc, solaris25g, solaris26g, ...)
If you don't have the source code, you can find it here:
