As far as I remember for Kermit it would be something like: set port 2 set speed 19200 (or whatever you want) connect You can write them to the Kermit start-up file and get them auto-executed when you start Kermit. And to exit from the connection to the command mode the default key is ^] or maybe ^[, can't remember now, it's normally displayed in the lowest row. If your kermit is not _very_ ancient you can get help by entering "set ?" to get the list of options for set or "set port ?" to get the help for "set port". "help" gives the list of the commands. I still have Kermit with sources from about '94 somewhere in my archives, let me know if you want it. > The two programs I have downloaded so far seem to only want to talk to a > modem.

Make the modem initialization strings empty, if there is an option "ignore carrier" then enable it, select right speed. Go to the terminal mode. That should be it. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
