Folks,
I have the latest version of kermit on Linux 1.3.37.
I have used the binary distribution, and recompiled the
source - which report C-Kermit 5A(190), 4 Oct 94, for Linux.
When I run kermit from X, in an xterm session, and
'set line /dev/cua1', it works fine, but also grabs /dev/cua0, the
mouse port, freezing my mouse. Quitting out of kermit restores
everything. /dev/cua0 is not grabbed until I do the 'set line'.
Worryingly, I can do 'set line /dev/cua0' with ease, and it
talks mouse-speak. Why does X not set a lock in either
/var/lock or /usr/spool/uucp (which kermit uses) to
indicate its use of the mouse port ?
If I create a binary lockfile pointing to process 1 (init)
in /usr/spool/uucp, kermit reports (correctly) an error
when attempting 'set line /dev/cua0'. However, the mouse
still freezes when 'set line /dev/cua1'.
Has anyone else seen this ?
I use a Tport Twin co-processed serial card, but with the
standard serial drivers, at the standard addresses and interrupts.
I use kermit all the time ..
Cheers, Andy!
