Hi again,

I just obtained Kermit-5a.  It seems to be working ok.
Btw, does any one know where I can get the source (the 
"generic" kind, not NeXT-oriented)? I'd like to put it 
on my Ultrix machine at work.

I've tried using kermit repetitively now for a little while.
It seems to be ok.  I changed the escape character to
^] (ascii 29), and I can escape back to my local kermit
(NeXT side) (previously I couldn't with escape character
^\ [ascii 28]).  I'm also using kermit as a generic user,
not root.

So in summary,
1. use /dev/cua to dial out, no change is necessary
   to this file
2. in my case, I turned off my ttyda getty,
   (ttyda "usr/etc/getty D2400" vt100 off
    in /etc/ttys file), so I guess I can't dial in, but
   can finally dial out w/out flaky behavior.
3. using kermit, use
   chown uucp kermit
   chgrp wheel kermit
   chmod u+s kermit
4. configure your modem:
   at &c1 &d2 &w0
   ought to work for hayes-type modems
   (basically setting up DTR and DCD behavior)

I have a DoveFax 24/96Fax modem.  Seems to work
nicely.  Haven't tried faxing yet.
I think that's about it.  It seems to me there's no 
difference whether you use serial port a or b.

Thanks to all who helped out.  Appreciate it.
