hi,
I am just setting up a Thinkpad 365xd with OS/2 Warp 4 and had hoped to
use the Kermit/2 XSend command to just dump all the stuff I need from
my desktop machine onto the laptop using a null modem cable. Somehow it
doesn't work, the two machines don't see each other, it seems.
I have disabled the IR port on the TP, set the serial port to com2.
On the desktop I have the serial port on com1. The null modem cable is
9 pin, with the following pin layout:
female male
1 4
2 3
3 2
4 6 and 1
5 5
6 4
7 8
8 7
9 n/c
yet nothing goes. I tried, following the Kermit/2 book, to set
set carrier-watch off
set line com2 (or com1 on the desktop)
set speed 115200
and then set the receiving laptop kermit into 'server' mode, where it
sits waiting. However, no matter what I do from the sending kermit, it
doesn't seem to communicate.
I also used the mode command to set the com port parameters to
baud = 115200 parity = NONE
databits = 7 stopbits = 1
TO = OFF XON = OFF
IDSR = OFF ODSR = OFF
OCTS = OFF DTR = OFF
RTS = OFF BUFFER = ON
on both machines (I tried 8 data bits as well), nothing. I am running
out of ideas; does anybody have some? I am surely not the first one to
try that, so I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks! Stefan
