I seem to be having trouble with kermit and FreeBSD 2.0.  If I try to SET LINE
/dev/modem (linked to /dev/tty01) it tells me that it is locked.  I checked
/var/spool/lock and nothing was there.  If I try SET LINE /dev/modem as root,
it sits there until I hit ctrl-c, and then it works.

I'd really like to get kermit to work so I can automate slip logins.  (Aside,
has anyone else out there had problems with ppp?  Mine starts to connect and
then drops carrier.)

Thanks,
Geordan
