Make sure your com1 port has a 16550 UART chip (use MSD under DOS to check). If you have an internal modem, be sure that you've disabled your PCs built in COM1. 2. Use -h for rts/cts flow control with slattach. Use -s to specify the port speed. Use the same speed you used with kermit. 3. Make sure the modem has its port locked at whatever speed youve decided to use. Make sure that you've forced DTR high (&D0) so that when you exit Kermit, the connection isn't dumped. Hope that helps.. John
