HELP!

I'm having a problem with kermit on a Sparcstation 2 with Solaris 2.3.  I have
a serial line set up with the admintool's serial port manager for a
bidirectional modem.  It works fine with dial ins.  By the way, the modem is a
Telebit T2500.)  Problems arise when I go to dial out.  Usually, it will not
let me set line.  SET LINE gives a "permission denied" or "access to device
denied" error with /dev/term/b, /dev/tty/b
, /dev/cua/b whether I am in as root or an ordinary user, with all the
permissions on the /device file and /dev links set to 777, it does it no matter
what.  Now tip does fine with dial outs.  But kermit won't do it.  This seems
so strange.  A user can call in and start a kermit server on the same line.
but no dice with the dial out.  It is maddening.

Has anyone else had similar problems?  Any suggestions, ideas, snyde remarks?
Any help will be most appreciated.
