Hi, all. I'm using MS-Kermit 3.14 (yes, it's the 18 Jan. release)
and I'm still having problems with the status line being overwritten
when I'm logged into my Unix account. Is anyone else having this
problem? I had hoped that the new release would fix this. I'm having
another problem as well. Kermit no longer hangs up the phone properly
--I have to break into command mode and issue ath in order to break the
connection. I'm using my old DATAPORT.SCR and MSCUSTOM.INI files from
3.13, so that shouldn't be a problem. If you give a text reference,
I'll be able to look it up when my book finally arrives (should be in a
couple of days). Oh, yeah. 3.14 barfs in Windows now, too. It floods
the screen with what looks like 8-bit characters whenever I connect to
our terminal server, but doesn't do it in DOS. Finally, the dialer will
sometimes die immediately after making a connection with the server
(then I have to wait for the timeout and restart the dial, busy, dial,
busy, etc. routine that is all too familiar to those of us at KU). This
may be attributed to my somewhat aggressive timing on the redial sequence
(13 seconds).
The reason for using my old DATAPORT.SCR is that the new one dies when it
tries to enable modulation fallback. I've reverted to the old script
that I modified that doesn't try to set anything and hard-coded my
preferences in the modem itself.
Help on any or all of these problems would be greatly appreciated. If
you need more information, I'll be more than happy to provide it.
Thanks for your help,
Troy Smith
P.S. Sorry if the formatting is weird, but I'm using an unfamiliar
