Has anyone had any success running term when logging in via kermit?
I have only a 2400 baud modem at the moment so it needs all the help
it can get! :-)  (probably a large hammer would help)  Anyway, I'm
running standard 1.0-i386 release.  Under 0.9 I could use tip then ~^Z
that and run term (all as root, mind you - but it did work).  Under
1.0 I've had to get kermit use the modem properly as tip doesn't seem
interested in it (always link down).  I have "local" in /etc/ttys as
directed by others in the list, and in fact the kermit login works
perfectly - I'm using it now.  But when I start up term, it gets wedged
and starts timing out on packets pretty quickly. I've upped the timeout
but I suspect there's something more sinister going on.  Also, when I
manage to kill off the term/trsh the kermit is stuck and can't be killed
(tries to exit but never succeeds - hangs on closing the device maybe?).

So - anyone successfully doing this sort of thing?

regards,
    Callum
