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)  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 you

    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.
