These PC's are at remote sites, and they are setup for overnight
procedures that need to be run from dos (backing up systems, running
various jobs etc).

Nope.. It's actaully a normal serial port that is connected to an
external ISDN TA.

All happy. Just kermit isn't. I'll have to check what a show com reports
before and after. Like I said, the strange thing is I can just re-run
kermit, or re-enter "set port 1" and everything is fine...
