Each new release represents a lot of work and a lot of changes.
They are listed in the release notes for each release, and during
the Beta period, for the Beta. The changes from 6.0 to 7.0 are
listed on the C-Kermit 7.0 web page:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck70.html
The changes in C-Kermit 8.0 Beta are listed in the C-Kermit 8.0
Web page:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck80.html
You can see the changes in much more detail in the daily edit
history:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/f/ckc197.txt <-- 6.0 to 7.0
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/test/text/ckc200.txt <-- 7.0 to 8.0
The biggest change in 8.0 in the dialing area is that the default
modem type changed from NONE to GENERIC. However, this should not
affect you if you give a SET MODEM TYPE command to selecte a specific
kind of modem. It only affects people who try to dial without first
specifying a modem type.
Also the default modem hangup method was changed from MODEM-CoMMAND
to RS232-SIGNAL. This should only affect dialing if your modem
was off-hook when you tried to dial AND it ignores the computer's
DTR signal.
: (Because at least the old one *works* well (at late night!);
: this new one won't even dial the phone.
:
Send the specifics to kermit-support@columbia.edu: what commands
are you using in each case? Don't send all your files and scripts.
Just create a short list of commands that demonstrates the problem,
for example (IN THIS ORDER):
set dial display on ; so you can watch what happens
set modem type usrobotics ; select modem type first
set line /dev/cua/a ; then port
set speed 57600 ; (or other speed that works with 6.0)
dial 5099202 ; (or whatever the number is)
If it doesn't work, send the commands you used and results of the
dial display, and the Kermit version number (as shown by the
VERSION command) and we'll take it from there.
