I'm halving what I think is a simple problem with Kermit.  I am trying to use
it through a Hayes modem.  After issuing "set modem hayes" I give the command:

set line /dev/cua

and Kermit responds:

/dev/cua: Permission denied
Sorry, can't open line: Permission denied

Well, not sure exactly what to do, I went to /dev/cua and chmod'ed cua so
everything was accessible.  After setting the speed, I was able to connect
to the modem, but although the send/receive lights blinked, none of the
modem commands seemed to work.

So my question is do I have to set up /dev/cua some other way (ie was chmoding
not the thing to do)?  If that was OK, anyone have any guesses as to why the
modem doesn't respond?  tip works fine so the modem and cable are working.

Set-Up: NeXTstation, 2.0 standard, 8 meg, Kermit 4E(072) Hayes Smartmodem 1200

Thanks for any help!
