Hi,
  We created the cable and downloaded kermit but our Linux machine is down at the moment.
We downloaded the Windows version of kermit. We have tried using the set line /dev/ttyS(0-3)Â Â commands but each time says ” Sorry cant open connection” .
How important is using the linux machine?
We tried set Port COM(0-2) and even tried set Port LPT1 but that did not work.
Please advise.
Thank youÂ

According to the Kermit Win95 FAQ, to connect to the parallel port in Windows, use:
set port LPT1
For Linux, the command should be
set port /dev/ttyS0
If these don’t work, I’d also try LPT0 or ttyS1.
