I'm trying to set up a script that automatically calls my SLIP
provider and then leaves the modem attached. I've tried:

	stty -f /dev/tty01 clocal -hupcl 57600
	kermit -y  script

But as soon as kermit exits the modem gets hung up. Do I need to write
my own scripting tool that will not hang up the modem on last close?

Also, I've regenerated the kernel with the syscons drivers but I would
like to change the Backspace key so it sends a delete '\x7f' character
I see information on how to change the keyboard table in the syscons
man page but nothing about how to change one key. I'd like to do this
so I don't have to worry about which key I hit in emacs...


	Thanks
