I've built Kermit5a188 on my NeXTstation. It seems to work okay,
but it seems to drop the connection often, after giving me the
message
Can't read character: I/O error
Communications disconnect (Back at localhost)
C-Kermit>
What is the cause of this error? Do I have some parameters set
wrong? I've set flow to none, but was told that I should do this
because the NeXT does flow control with the port drivers, as long
as I'm using /dev/cufa, have flow control enabled on the modem, and
am using the NeXT modem cable (which I am).
What's wrong? In case it's helpful, I'll include my settings below.
Thanks!
