Perhaps this is correct.
The exact message I got on the server side (DIRECT connection.)
is this. The number of space lines and the message "crtscts set " is my own
debug message lines that confirm that the hardware rts/cts is set.
--- begin quote ----
(/tmp/) C-Kermit>server
crtscts set.
?Carrier required but not detected
(/tmp/) C-Kermit>set carrier-watch off
(/tmp/) C-Kermit>server
Entering server mode on /dev/ttya
Type Ctrl-C to quit.
--- end quote ---
Please note the "?Carrier required but not detected." message.
I am not sure why this appears.
If I don't issue set carrier-watch off (for this direct connection using
cross cable), I won't be able to run "server" due to this error.
This is why I thought a big letter warning (using some banner lines like
**********************, etc.. ) is a good idea.
On the non-server side, I do get such
flashy warning lines that use such banner lines.

The above scenario makes sense except that
my solaris PC won't start server without set carrier-watch off.
Am I missing something?
Aha, I noticed that /dev/cua is a modem line where as I used
direct connection serial port (without modem control).
