communication on com port 4.
I'm not sure of the text you'd need to add to the .INI files, but have
you tried defining the port explicitly? If you go to the Setup, then
Comm(serial?) ports, then Advanced Setup, you should be able to define
the port explicitly - it adds one or two lines to the .INI file (if it
doesn't, give it an incorrect address/IRQ to force the text to be added,
then fix manually).
It is also possible that you have run afoul of another problem, that of
serial ports having to be contiguous. If you do not have a COM2 or COM3,
Windows will make them contiguous (e.g., by changing your COM4 to COM3),
without changing the I/O address or IRQ.
Note also that the MicroSoft Diagnostic program (MSD.EXE) does *not* display
correct IRQ information - it only shows the defaults.
Hope this helps.

By the way, a long time ago, before Kermit had arithmetic operations
like INCREMENT and DECREMENT, etc, we had the following truly atrocious
submission from our good friend Gisbert in Bonn, still one of my all-time
favorites -- very much an "in" joke, don't take it seriously:

Thanks :-) I'll be *definately* ordering the book shortly - there is *sooo* much I'll need to know, and this is a case where the documentation is a need, rather than a wish! (from everything I've heard about the book, it's one of the most complete, best written books not only about Kermit, but about communications in general!)
I look forward to eventually being able to submit some cool scripts to you, Frank - and I surely hope to see others doing it too! It seems like such an incredibly powerful tool, even at simple first glance!

Can't wait to check it out :-)

I'm using Kermit 3.13, with a 14.4 K baud modem. When I'm in Pine or reading news, occasionally there are funny strings appearing on the screen, such as
[12,42H , or sometimes the residue of a line display still appearing at the top or the bottom of the screen when scrolling.
Could anyone explain, and advise how to fix these problems ?
I am having a CASE 9600 modem hook up on a Personal IRIS running IRIX 5.2. I am using uucp for dialing out to Internet. However I kept having problems when I want to dial in from outside. I followed all the steps in the system administration stated in the IRIX documentation, but it still failed. Could anyone out there give me a helping hand? Everytime when I dial in from outside, I got the message connected, but the login prompt never appeared.
Thanks in advance./
