: Hello all,

: no avail.
What does 'ls -l /dev/cua2' look like? also ls -l output of your kermit?
If the serial port is something like mine:
crw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 5, 67 Mar 27 12:09 /dev/cua3
then the kermit should look like:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 uucp uucp 807668 Jan 1 21:33 /usr/local/bin/wermit
note that both are owner/group uucp, AND (and this is important!) the
kermit is setuid uucp! Kermit should NOT be setuid to root, it is smart
enough to notice, and will refuse to run that way, but it must have
access to the port as the port's owner.
The one above is 6.1.193, the one below is 6.1.195 beta.04, note its
permissions are slightly different:
-rwsrwsr-x 1 uucp uucp 971853 Feb 10 21:51 wermit
