Ok,
    I have read all of the FAQ's and I am now lost.  I have a ZyXel 14.4kbps modem  
that needs to talk to the serial port at 38.4kbps with hardware flow control.  I  
don't want to do UUCP, I don't want do setup dial in support, all I want is to be  
able to use my modem with kermit to transfer files back and forth.  The problem I  
am having is that the device (/dev/cufa) the modem is connected to is always BUSY  
when I try to add stuff in the /etc/ttys file for it. 

Question #1
   What (if any) modifications do I have to make in my /etc/ttys file?
Question #2
   Can I setup my modem to send FAXs and still use the modem via kermit (more  
device busy problems here)?
Question #3
   How do I use rz sz etc... in kermit, that is using kermit as my interface  
between my modem and my NeXT how do I shell out and use rz (redirects to the device  
don't seem to be working)?

BTW - I have an 68040 NeXT

Jon
