Date: 18 Jun 1996 02:02:19 GMT Organization: University of Pennsylvania Lines: 25 Message-ID: <4q52nb$ebn@netnews.upenn.edu> References: <4q4bho$7ht@netnews.upenn.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: blue.seas.upenn.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2-upenn1.3] Oh well, fixed it myself. In case anyone is interested, the problem appears to be that MS-KERMIT is lenient if your IRQ is set right but your COM port is set wrong. In other words, "set port com1" and "set port com3" both hit my modem in MS-KERMIT. But the BSD dial-out devices require correctness with IRQ and COM selection.
