: Ah. So my Indy's mother board is therefore not hosed, and the programs

Let's start copying this discussion to comp.protocols.kermit.misc since it's
about Kermit.
For those who don't know, C-Kermit 6.1 is currently in Beta test:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck61.html
It includes a lot of improvements in IRIX serial-port handling -- higher
serial speeds, hardware flow control via API (i.e. now you can "set flow
rts/cts"), etc. So my first recommendation would be to try the new version
and see if the problems persist. If they do, let's get them fixed -- I'll
need the cooperation of IRIX experts, since I don't have an SGI workstation
I can put my hands (and a modem, and a breakout box) on.
