So you type:
set line /dev/tty01
at the C-Kermit prompt, and then you press the Enter or Return key,
right? And after you do this, is there an error message?
Before typing the next command, please type the following command
at the C-Kermit> prompt:
show communications
and notice what C-Kermit reports its line and speed to be.
: I type set speed 19200 ( or anything )
:
: I get : ?you must set line before set speed
If the "set line /dev/tty01" command was executed without error, then
"set speed 19200" should be accepted UNLESS /dev/tty01 happens to be
your login terminal. Any error message would indicate that the "set
line /dev/tty01" command was not accepted in the first place.
If there was no error message, then I must ask again: why are you
trying to "set line" and "set speed"? Do you want to dial out from
the SCO system? Or have you come in to the SCO system from another
computer and want to transfer files? In the latter case, you do NOT
use the "set line" or "set speed" commands. This is the difference
between "local mode" and "remote mode". All of this is explained in
the manual, with profuse examples and illustrations.
If you are giving a "set line" command for the same terminal device
that you are logged in on, it has no effect at all. Kermit remains
in remote mode, and you can not "set speed" on your job's controlling
terminal.
