I have started working with an HPSM that we had installed several weeks ago.
The only test performed on it was successful login on each of the eight lines
using a VT-220.  In addition, I succeeded in completing a Kermit exchange over
one of the lines, the week before last.  Tonight I can't get at the lines.  
I've tried cat, the connect option of kermit and a short program that simply
does an open on /dev/tty15.  In the last case, I know that it goes into the
open and does not return.  Kermit isn't printing it's little connect message.
On the one line that has getty enabled on it (/dev/tty8 == port 0) I can do
cat and connect with Kermit, and send characters out (they appear on the 220).
The lines (/dev/tty8 ... /dev/tty15) are all mode 622, owned by root.  My 
test runs are performed as root (when attempted as non-root I get EPERM on the
open, as expected).  The HPSM seems to be working, since I can still login
on the getty line, but I can't get at it.  The wording for tty(4) seems to 
imply that my process is simply waiting for a response that never comes from
the I/O systmem.  Has anyone had this problem?  My three regular lines are
behaving normally, but of course they don't use the same device and probably
don't use the same driver.  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

[Did you reload the HPSM software into the HPSM? What version of the HPSM
software are you runnings? I think the latest is 3.0. -- sob]
