Being an old Kermit user and advocate and a person who helped
many others with their modem/phone/comm port problems, I'm a
bit sheepish asking this question...
I'm trying to do simple vt100 emulation using ms-kermit 3.11
driving an external 2400 Zoom modem through comm port 2. This
setup has worked flawlessly for years on an HP 386 PC. My
problem started when I plugged the modem into comm port 2 of
a Gateway 2000 486-66 machine and tried to run kermit from
DOS. I do "mode com2:24,n,8,1" from dos. From kermit, I can then
dial "atdt 5551212" and listen to a successful connect....BUT
throughout the process, my screen stays BLANK! Kermit knows
how to write to the screen since it will if I "set duplex half".
I tried 2 other internal 2400 baud modems to see if the modem
is broke, but the results are the same. It must be between the
Gateway and kermit, I guess. I'm using the mskermit.ini file that
worked on the HP with the port # changed from 1 to 2.
Does the ability to make the modem dial allow me to imply that
kermit is dealing correctly with comm2? I am a little suspicious
of the fact that the Gateway mouse is using Comm port 1 and kermit
has a "set comN x\0xxx" command (which I'm not using) BUT I keep
thinking that these can't be interfering OR I wouldn't be able to
make it dial. :-( Help!
Thanks,
