I'm a reasonably experienced KERMIT user and have successfully connected PC
together via serial cables, but have encountered some problems when trying to
link a PC to a Sparc station with a direct serial connection.
Here's the context:
I have MS-KERMIT 3.14 on my PC running WFW 3.11 and C-KERMIT (190) 5A on my
Sparc running SUN OS 4.1.4.
The db-25 male cable ends from both the PC and Sparc cables have each been
individually (and successfully) connected to a modem and then Kermit used as
a terminal to various BBS systems. This would seem to verify the integrity of
the two computer cables as well as the respective Kermit to machine port
paths.
When trying to use Kermit to connect my PC to my Sparc I did the following:
1) I set both PC and Sparc kermits to 9600, modem=none/direc, and RTS/DTS.
My PC is using COM2, my Sparc /etc/ttya.
2) I connected the two db-25/male cable ends from the PC and Sparc serial
cables together with 1) a 25 pin straight through gender changer, i.e.
a module having two female db-25 connectors wired pin-to-pin.
I then ran connect on both machines but could never get them to connect.
Furthermore, my PC kermit hung entirely while emitting a continous series
of beeps.
3) Thinking I had wired both machines directly, I then added a null-modem
adapter to te db-25 gender changer mentioned in (2) above. I got the
same results.
Any suggestions. Am I doing/omitting something really brain dead?
Thanx in advance for any help.
