It's not just kermit: the ttymon problem also breaks some other software,
some from Sun, some from other vendors. The simplest workaround is to
not allow bidirectional connections, and use the modem only for dialout.
I don't know of any way to change kermit to work around the problem.
While we're on the subject of Solaris and Kermit, when I upgraded to a
host from SunOS 4.1.3U1 (aka Solaris 1.1.1) to SunOS 4.1.4 (aka Solaris
1.1.2), outgoing kermit stopped working. This is C-Kermit 5A(190), 4
Oct 94, for SunOS 4.1 (BSD). kermit dials out OK, but the instant the
modems finish handshaking, kermit reports `Communications disconnect
(Back at twin)' and the modem hangs up. Rebuilding kermit from scratch
didn't help. I haven't had time to look into it; we use tty Kermit
only in emergencies these days.
