Anyone have any experience with the OS/2/2.0 Debug Kernel?  I have installed
it and can't get it to respond to an async terminal on COM1.  I've
read the directions pretty carefully and done everything they say, including:

- Install the debug kernel in the root directory of the hard disk

- Add the "/C1" option to the "device=pmdd.sys" command in config.sys

- Put a null modem in the cable that connects com1 and the async terminal

- Set the async terminal to 9600 b/s, no parity, 8 bits, 1 stop.

Despite all this, I can't seem to raise the debugger. None of the attention
characters work -- not 'r', 'p' <SP> or ^C.  I am absolutely sure I am
hooked up to COM1.

One thing I tried was to disable loading of the COM drivers by deleting the line:
"device=\os2\com.sys" from config.sys.  That didn't do any good.

I would greatly appreciate any help.
