- I too have just installed MCC 0.97p2 (less than 24 hours ago). Right
- now I am using kermit to talk to my Usenet access host, after a little
- trial and error. Most probably you problem is that kermit is trying
- to talk to the modem with 7 data bits parity on. Try the following
- in Kermit:
-
- set modem hayes
- set line /dev/ttys(whatever)
- set terminal bytesize 8
- set parity none
-
- then try
-
- connect
- ATZ
-
- the response show be OK from the modem.
-
- Hope this helps.... BTW, when using Kermit I always key the Kermit
- manpage running on another virtual console.
