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.)
