You should not be running kermit against the same line that you are using for PPP. The pppd program or chat should lock the serial device. In addition, the pppd process puts the tty line into 'root exclusive' mode (TIOCEXCL). This should prevent any non-root user from using the line; provided that you are using the 1.1.14+ kernels. (It may work with the old tty drivers in earlier kernels. I just don't know.) If you use kermit to dial the system, then you should shell out of kermit to run the pppd process. This will suspend kermit. Do not attempt to run kermit on one virtual console and then pppd on another. If you could explain a little more of how you are getting kermit confused with pppd, or pppd confused with kermit, then I might be able to offer additional help. -- Al Longyear longyear@netcom.com
