I am trying to connect to our Phone PBX via a Kermit connection
through the serial cable (OS = Redhat 7.3 non graphical-CLI only)

I can get into the switch without a problem, but it seems that I can
not make any changes becuase the 'do' button F3 doesnt seem to want to
cooperate.

Now I am very confused at a lot of this, so please bear with me

- Kermit emulates a VT220 as default
- is there somewhere to find out why the function keys do not work?
and then map them correctly

in addition, the backspace doesnt seem to work at all.


I also tried this with minicom, and the backspace does work (it seems
to be emulating a VT102), but I still have the issue with the 'do' f3
button.

Any help would be appreciated, I have been scouring the lists and web
for a while and I only seem to be going in circles.

Thanks
