We use kermit for modem connections on a SUN Ultra 2 running Solaris 2.5.1.
Sometimes (seemingly at random intervals) kermit will not disconnect when the
modem connection is terminated. When one attempts to log back in, all they
get is a busy signal. If I log on as root and attempt to reset kermit, I get
the following message:
trumpkin# kermit
Sorry, can't open connection: /dev/cua/a: Device busy
?Sorry, you must SET LINE first
C-Kermit 5A(190), 4 Oct 94, for Solaris 2.x
Copyright (C) 1985, 1994,
Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York.
Type ? or HELP for help.
C-Kermit>qui
However, one can not SET LINE or anything else (short of turning to power to
the modem off).
Is there some way to clear kermit of this "busy device"? Right now, I have
to reboot the workstation -- not a pleasant task.
