Every time I invoke CM, which is configured to auto-start ASCII/ACDI
with the VT100 configuration file, I get a "critical error" and the
session does not start--that is literally all the information provided
by the error message (don't remember the number off the top of my
head.)

When CM starts up I can see that it blips the TD light on my IBM 2400
BPS modem (model 5853) but it goes no further.  I have an IBM modem
cable so it should be pinned out properly.  Anyone else experienced
this (this is why I didn't use CM months ago and instead opt to use
YTERM from the DOS box)?
