Subprocess class question

We are about to try some small nifty user interface to some remote
process that is running on another computer that we dial up to  by
means of kermit.
We thought of using the Subprocess class. However, each time we get to
the login prompt, the whole session hangs. (At the moment we try to
figure out the workings of the Subprocess class by running kermit
manually from within the example provided with the source to the
Subprocess class.)

Now, I know this sounds vague, has anyone ever had similar problems?
And more importantly, how did you solve these?
Any suggestions what might be the cause of all that?

Also, if that's of any help, kermit complains with the following lines
when we start it up from within the MyShell.app
(but I'm not sure that is cause of the problem):

$ kermit
Error opening /dev/tty
congm: No such device or address
/Users/rcfa/.kermit
C-Kermit 5A(184) BETA-6, 12 Oct 92, NeXT (NeXTstep 3.0)

Any help is greatly appreciated,
