Hello,
   Just a quick question.  Has anyone run into problems with kermit in
establishing a connection to /dev/modem with "set line"?  It just
hangs until I pull out the serial cable and then I can set the speed,
plug in the cable, and connect to it.  Everything seems to work great
under Mac OS communication programs.  Could it be a hardware problem?

   Thank you in advance,
