I have heard a couple reports like this regarding various
UNIX varieties on various kinds of workstations.
Are you using the workstation console? Are you running it in
an xterm? Are you running it from a remote access point (e.g.
Telnet'd, Rlogin'd or dialed in)?
It sounds to me like the console, window, or terminal driver
is not delivering the Ctrl-\ character to Kermit.
Some workstations don't let you type Ctrl-\, for example the
NeXTstation. For those (i.e. the ones we know about
we use a different escape character by default, such as Ctrl-].
Also note that in order to allow you to use Ctrl-\ as the
escape character, we have to disable SIGQUIT (the Quit signal).
Maybe your version of UNIX doesn't allow this. I doubt it, but
it's a possibility -- I've recently encountered other UNIX
versions that did not allow applications to disable certain
keyboard-generated signals (or, at least, not with the regular
APIs).
: the rest of the program seems to work fine. If I telnet to
: another computer and then log out, I get backto command mode
: OK, or if I set the line to /dev/tty00, then connect, I get
: to the modem fine. I can dial and send modem commands. But
: after I hang up the modem, there's no way to escape back to
: command mode.
:
Then that's another problem -- C-Kermit *should* pop back to
the prompt automatically when the modem drops carrier, assuming
you have used the DIAL command to make the connection in the
first place, and have not given a SET CARRIER-WATCH OFF command.
: I tried setting the escape key sequence to something else
: with "set escape ^\" and also tried "set escape 28"
:
Try something besides Ctrl-Backslash. For example:
set escape ^] ; or 29
In the meantime, please try C-Kermit 7.0 Beta.06:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck70.html
It should handle modems better, and if there are any further
problems, that's the version we'd be fixing them in. Please
