| As explained in the manual (just type "help" at the C-Kermit prompt
| to find out more about the manual), there are numerous ways in which
| you have to get the software (Kermit in this case) and the modem to
| agree. Perhaps chief among them is the treatment of the interface speed.
| Modems can be configured to make their interface speed follow the
| connection speed, or to keep their interface speed fixed no matter what
| the connection speed turns out to be.
| Modern high-speed, error-correcting, data-compressing modems should
| generally be configured in the latter way: with interface speed fixed,
| or locked.
| You have set your modem this way (&B1), but you did not set Kermit this
| way, so Kermit tried to change its interface speed to 14400 when it got
| the "CONNECT 14400" message from the modem. Luckily, it could not do
| this, since evidently 14400 is not a supported speed on your computer.
| The trick is to tell Kermit to use the highest reliable interface speed it
| and your computer and your modem all have in common, and to use RTS/CTS
| "hardware" flow control if available, and then before dialing, tell Kermit
| to "set dial speed-matching off". See pages 60-61 of "Using C-Kermit" for
| a longer explanation.
Frank, many thanks.
The error message went away after I followed your suggestion.
I also took this opportunity to read pp. 60-61 of your fine
manual which spends most of its time just sitting on my
bookshelf (like all my books (-; ).
By the way, any particular reason you renamed the binary
to wermit?
Also, whenever I invoke wermit, I get the message "Executing
SAMPLE C-Kermit customization file /home/jzero/.mykermrc".
Then "Please edit this file to reflect your needs and
preferences." Then *nothing*.
If I hit Ctrl-C, kermit springs into action and I then
get the C-Kermit prompt.
Do you know what's going on?
