Has anyone else gotten this on the NeXT?  (I'm pretty sure Mark Adler said he
did a while ago?)

It compiles without errors on NS 3.0, but it does some odd things.  One, the
lock file in /usr/spool/uucp/LCK doesn't always get deleted.  Next time
kermit's run it says 'removing stale lock file' but do all apps (i.e. UUCP)
do this?

Two, what's wrong with this script:

set line /dev/cufa
set baud 38400
out ats0=1 [newline]
in 3 OK
quit

(the syntax may be off, I'm doing this from memory, but the commands are
basically right)

All I want it to do is turn autoanswer on automatically.  It worked with an
older version of kermit (182? 180?) and NeXTstep 2.1, but with the current
setup (the older kermit does not work in 3.0 either) it just hangs at the
'quit' statement.  The ats0=1 went in there, because if I go into kermit and
hit return, the autoanswer status comes up.

Any clues?

be a dog. Sigh!  There's so little hope for advancement.
