If you are trying to use a modem with kermit, you might be having
problems because you are not part of the uucp group when you are
trying to access the modem. When you are root, then there is no
problem accessing the modem. I had similar problems. I had to make
my operators part of the uucp group, so they could run my kermit
scripts.
