Not saying what your operating environment is, nor what version of
Kermit you're running.
Oh! What are you doing wrong when you try to RUN Kermit?
It sounds as if you're trying to run C-Kermit under some version of Unix.
The versions I've used require you to specify a specific tty number, not
/dev/tty.
>From HP-UX 9.x
ls -l /dev/tty* | head
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin other 31 0x000000 May 2 11:06 /dev/tty
crw--w--w- 1 root other 58 0x000000 Apr 29 07:12 /dev/tty0p0
crw--w--w- 1 root other 58 0x000001 Apr 29 07:12 /dev/tty0p1
>From AIX 3.2.5
crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 1, 0 May 1 20:44 /dev/tty
crw------- 1 root system 16, 0 May 2 11:18 /dev/tty0
crw------- 1 root system 16, 1 May 16 1996 /dev/tty1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 10 Sep 7 1993 /dev/ttyp0 -> /dev/pts/0
On the latter system, I can say either
set line /dev/tty0 (or just set line 0)
or set line /dev/tty1,
to select a real tty device. The rest are dummys.
