A script should test commands like "set line" for success or failure:
set line /dev/cua1
if fail exit 1 Can't assign /dev/cua1
The "set line /dev/cua1" should give you an error message saying why it
failed: no such device, device is in use, access to lockfile directory
denied, etc.
Find the cu program on your computer. Make sure it works with the same
device.
Then (as root) give the Kermit program the same owner, group, and
permissions as cu.
