  I use 1.2D on my dialin server and mgetty 1.1.0, built on May

  I get:

  Is this what you mean?

  Yes, I noticed the same thing. I vaguely recall that a much older
version of kermit did the right thing, but I didn't have source to
that version and wanted to change some compile options. So, maybe it
is a problem with the #define for TIOCMGET?
