If you want to use the DIAL command (which is the recommended method for
making a dialed connection), then:
set modem type multitech
set line /dev/cul0p7
set speed 9600
set parity none
set dial display on
dial 02633340
if success connect ; or whatever...
If you want to CONNECT to the modem and type AT commands it at:
set modem type none
set line /dev/cul0p7
set speed 9600
set parity none
set carrier-watch off
connect
If these do not work, something is wrong. Let's consider only the DIAL
command. Use the sequence above and see what is shown while the DIAL command
is working. If the cause of the problem does not become obvious to you,
send the details by email to kermit-support@columbia.edu.
However, there are a few other, non-Kermit, items regarding changes (or bugs)
in HP-UX that occurred after 10.00 and after C-Kermit 6.0 was released. These
can be addressed by installing HP-UX patches and/or a rebuilt Kermit program.
We will be announcing a public Beta test of C-Kermit 6.1 soon that addresses
these issues.
Watch this space for announcements.
