Which Kermit version are you using? C-Kermit 6.0.192? On which
platform? If the T2500 initialization is broken, obviously we want
to fix it. But we no longer have a working T2500 in-house so you'll
need to help us by telling us exactly what is wrong.

Meaning what? Exactly what happens? And what is definition?
(Type "show modem" to display it). Copy and paste this material and
send it in to us, or if you don't have an X window or something then
use "script" to record your session and send in the typescript.

:
Have you used "set dial display on" to watch exactly what happens between
Kermit and the modem? Again, please record this and send it in.

Well, obviously the T2500 support worked once, so it can work again if
we know what's wrong with it.
Send your detailed report to kermit-support@columbia.edu and we'll
figure it out.
