Is there any way to tell kermit NOT to drop DTR when the user quits?
I am using kermit just to dial to an Internet Service Provider,
and therefore after quitting, the phone call should not be dropped.
After kermit ends, I grab the IP address from the kermit log and
start the SLIP daemon.
Later, when all Internet exchange is done, I need to tell the
serial port to drop DTR so the modems hangs up.
I guess that if the port is set up with the HUPCL parameter,
what I really need is to ask kermit not to close the file (port).
Should I look for this line, comment it out, and recompile kermit?:
close("/dev/tty0");
Or should I set the port to -HUPCL, run kermit, quit, and then change
the setting to +HUPCL?
Any other suggestions or comments?
