Windows has two ways of accessing modems. Sometimes one works,
sometimes the other. If you were using:
set modem type usrobotics (or other specific type)
set port com1 (or com2, etc)
try using:
set tapi line
Or vice versa. If that doesn't help then, as Jeff said, please send
details to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
Also note that the current version of Kermit 95 is 1.1.20, so if yours
is earlier, please patch up to the current level:
