- kermit (which i using now) works fine when i start it in an xterm. however,
- if i'm not in X, after the 4 connecting to ... & escape char lines info,
- it escapes back to the local machine (connect is last line of my .kermrc)
- there's the C-Kermit> prompt and then i'm back at the regular bash prompt.
- in both cases, i'm logged in as root. in fact, TERM is even set to xterm
- in both cases (but vt100 or console terms work the same).
- way back in ver. 0.12 i had kermit working but until i tried it today
- from inside X-windows, kermit has always dropped out as i describe above.
- Why does it work in X? (not that i'm complaining, just curious)
- i'm using: kernel 0.97 patch level 1 with base utilities, etc from the
- MCC-interim dist.
