In moving Kermit to my new traveling machine and modem (see keywords
above) I ran into a problem that didn't improve when I upgraded to
Kermit 3.14. Screen output hangs up pretty unpredictably -- sometimes
just after the CONNECT message from the modem but occasionally after I
have supplied my user name and we are partway into the "Password:"
prompt. What little text I see is perfect. Changing terminal emulation
to VT102, ANSI, etc. doesn't help; neither does slower DTE speeds.
There are probably a few flow control options I haven't yet tried :).
The modem does not complain. Procomm (the old one) works fine, and
so does Bitcom. The configuration looks OK except MSD shows 5 data bits
for COMM2. IRQ, etc are vanilla. The PCMCIA tools give expected answers.
If anyone is interested in helping me out, send me mail. I really need
Kermit because it cleanly solves my "inverse telephone directory problem".
I wrote macros that help me pulse dial out of a Paris hotel, then give
AT&T USA Direct a tone phone number, and finally supply the appropriate
credit card number tones at the bong. I nearly always call the same phone
number -- it's the prefixes and suffixes that vary a lot. I expect to use
Kermit under Linux also, once I lick this MS-DOS problem.
